Using Your Communicator for EMBLEM™ S-ICD Patients
The LATITUDE Communicator collects information from your S-ICD device and sends it to your healthcare team through a secure server.
Important to Know
- The Communicator does not reprogram or change any functions of your S-ICD device and your device will still work even if your Communicator is not working.
- The Communicator does NOT dial 911 during a health emergency. If you are not feeling well, call your healthcare provider or dial 911.
When to Use Your Communicator

How to Manually Send Your Data
Your healthcare provider may instruct you to manually send your data.
If you are instructed to send your data manually, be sure to stay close to the Communicator while completing the steps below to ensure the best connection between your implanted device and the Communicator.
1. Press the heart button and stay within arm’s reach of the Communicator while it completes the interrogation.

2. When all the waves light solid green and the doctor icon lights blue as shown below for two minutes, the Communicator has successfully sent your data.

Important
Normal use of the LATITUDE system has been accounted for in the projected battery life of your S-ICD device. Pressing the heart button more often than when the heart button flashes or more often than instructed by your healthcare provider may lead to a decrease in the battery life of your S-ICD device.
Making Sure Your Communicator is Working
1. Press the status button on the back of the Communicator for one second.

2. If the Communicator lights up as shown below, your last interrogation was successful. The lights will turn off automatically after two minutes.
