Remote Scheduled Follow-Ups; Manual Interrogations - Boston Scientific LATITUDE 6280 Manual Del Paciente

2. Remote Scheduled Follow-ups

The Communicator performs remote
scheduled follow-ups on a schedule set by
your health care provider. The Communicator
performs a full interrogation (collects and
sends data from your implanted device).
This may happen automatically without your
knowledge or the Communicator may prompt
you to press the flashing Heart button.

3. Manual Interrogations

The Heart button is designed to enable you to
manually interrogate your implanted device.
This is a feature that must be enabled by
your health care provider. Only press the
Heart button if it is flashing or when instructed
to do so by your health care provider. When
the heart button is pressed, the Communicator
checks to make sure the interrogation is
permitted. See "Using the Heart Button" on
page 37 for more information.
Caution:
• Normal use of the LATITUDE system has
been accounted for in the projected battery life
of your implanted device. Pressing the Heart
button more often than when the Heart button
flashes or, more often than instructed by your
health care provider, may lead to a decrease
in the battery life of your implanted device.
• If you feel unwell or are in need of urgent
health care, call your health care provider or
dial 911.
