Interrogating Your Implanted Device - Boston Scientific LATITUDE Patient Manual

Interrogating Your Implanted Device

The Communicator automatically interrogates your
implanted device on a regular schedule set by your
health care provider. This may happen without your
awareness and should not require any action on
your part. Daily device checks are also performed
automatically. None of the Communicator indicators will
light during a scheduled interrogation or daily device
check.
A scheduled interrogation will not be completed if you
are out of range (10 ft/3 m) from the Communicator
when it attempts to communicate with your implanted
device. If the Communicator is unable to automatically
interrogate your device after repeated attempts, the
Heart button will fl ash to allow you to complete the
interrogation manually. The Heart button also fl ashes
the fi rst time you use the Communicator.
The Heart button is designed to enable you to
manually interrogate your implanted device. Manual
interrogation is a feature that must be enabled by
your health care provider. When you press the Heart
button, the Communicator checks to make sure that
the interrogation is permitted. You should only use the
Heart button if it is fl ashing or when instructed to do so
by your health care provider.
If you press the Heart button by mistake (not intending
to perform an interrogation), press and hold the Heart
button again for at least 5 seconds to cancel the
interrogation. The Collecting Waves may light yellow
and show progress while the interrogation is being
cancelled.
