Boston Scientific’s LATITUDE Remote Monitoring System

Get more from monitoring

Your LATITUDE home monitoring system gives your doctor access to healthcare data from certain cardiac implants such as pacemakers and defibrillators between office visits. It is designed to improve the convenience and quality of your care while providing peace of mind. 

Understanding your Communicator

The LATITUDE Communicator collects information from your cardiac device and automatically sends it to your healthcare team. LATITUDE can also monitor and send your weight and blood pressure data, giving your doctor useful information in making your treatment decisions.

The Communicator does not conduct continuous monitoring. Your Communicator checks your implant based on a schedule set by your doctor.

Collected data is sent to a secure website for your doctor to review.

icon

LATITUDE does not program or reprogram any function of your implant. Its purpose is monitoring and sharing information with your doctor to optimize your care. 

icon

If your Communicator stops working or goes off-line for any reason, don’t worry, your implant is not affected. 

icon

The Communicator does not contact 911 during a health emergency. If you are not feeling well and need assistance, call your healthcare provider or dial 911.

Knowing the benefits

LATITUDE may substantially improve survival for cardiac patients. Our LATITUDE study found people using LATITUDE home monitoring over the five years of the study had a 50% relative risk reduction of death compared to people who only went to the clinic for implant checks.1

Confidence in security

You can feel confident knowing LATITUDE uses advanced security methods to protect your medical information. Only authorized healthcare providers can access your information through our secure clinician website.

LATITUDE™ Communicator for the LATITUDE NXT Patient Management System
Important Safety Information

The LATITUDE™ Communicator is part of a remote monitoring system that gives your health care provider access to your implanted device data via a Clinician website. The Communicator and the LATITUDE NXT Patient Management System are not intended to assist with medical emergencies. If you are not feeling well, call your physician or 911. The Communicator does not provide continuous monitoring. The Communicator does not reprogram or change any functions of your implanted device. Only your health care provider can do this during an office visit. Patients may experience anxiety as a result of being remotely monitored.

The Communicator is designed with options to connect to the Clinician website. You can only use one connection method at a time with your Communicator (Cellular, Internet, Hotspot, or Standard Telephone). Using more than one connection method at a time may result in your Communicator failing to connect to the Clinician Website. The Communicator is designed to work only with the implanted device of the patient for whom it was prescribed. It will not work with other patients’ implanted devices and should be used only as authorized by the prescribing physician. The Communicator is not for use with any pulse generator other than a Boston Scientific device. Ask your physician if you have questions about any risks with using the Communicator or your implanted device.

It is very important that the Communicator remain plugged into an electrical outlet that has power. Your communicator should remain connected to a telephone line, ethernet adaptor or cellular adaptor. Some household appliances and other sources of electromagnetic energy could interfere with the communication between your Communicator and your implanted device. You should be at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from televisions, VCRs, DVD players, personal computers, and other electronic equipment, when you are using the Communicator. Place your Communicator within 10 feet (3 meters) from your bedside or where you sleep. If this is not possible, place your Communicator where you spend a considerable amount of time each day. It is recommended that you install a surge protector in the electrical outlet to which the Communicator is connected. Rx only
