and your implanted device. When you are using
the Communicator, you should be at least 3 feet
(1 meter) away from televisions, videocassette English
recorders (VCRs), digital video disc (DVD)
players, personal computers, and other electronic
equipment.
• Patients with S-ICD implanted devices supported on
LATITUDE: The wireless communication between
the Communicator and an S-ICD is orientation
and distance sensitive. In some positions, the
Communicator may need to be closer to the S-ICD
to complete an interrogation. If you need assistance,
contact Patient Services at 1-866-484-3268.
• Electrical safety: It is recommended that the
customer install a surge protector between the
electrical wall outlet and the Communicator. This is
to avoid damage to the Communicator caused by
local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.
Electrical cable wall plugs and other accessories
must be in good condition before use.
• Boston Scientific personnel may contact the clinic
or patient to advise on the best Communicator
placement if an implanted device uses too much
radio-frequency (RF) telemetry.
