The use of any cables or accessories with the LATITUDE Programming
System other than those provided by or specified by Boston Scientific
could result in increased electromagnetic emissions, decreased
electromagnetic immunity, or electrical shock of the LATITUDE
Programming System. Anyone connecting such cables or accessories to
the LATITUDE Programming System, including the use of MSOs (Multiple
Socket Outlets), may be configuring a medical system and is responsible
to ensure that the system complies with the requirements of IEC/EN
60601-1, Clause 16 for medical electrical systems.
•
Radio frequency (RF) communications equipment.
Keep all RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as
antennas, wands, and cables) at least 30 cm (12 in) away from the Model
3300 Programmer, including cables specified by Boston Scientific, to
avoid degradation of the performance of this equipment.
•
Connector contacts.
Do not simultaneously touch the patient and any accessible LATITUDE
Programming System connector or exposed conductor.
•
Electric shock.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, only connect the Programmer’s Model
6689 Power Adapter to a grounded/earthed power outlet.
•
Battery access.
When accessing the battery, ensure that power to the Programmer is
turned off. Do not touch the connector terminals in the battery
compartment while removing or replacing the battery because an
electrical charge is present.
•
Electrostatic charges.
The PSA lead system is in electrical contact with the patient’s heart and
blood.
•
Do not touch the metal clips on the patient cable or the pacing lead.
Electrical currents can be dangerous to the patient and the user.
•
Discharge any electrical static charge on your person by touching a
grounded metal surface before touching the patient, the patient
cables, or the device.
•
Electrical currents.
Unused PSA cable connections contacting conductive surfaces can
induce electrical currents into the patient’s heart.
•
Attach unused cable connections to surgical draping near the patient
or disconnect the unused cables from the system.
•
Electrocautery.
