LATITUDE Patient Management System
The LATITUDE Patient Management System (referred
to as “LATITUDE system” throughout this manual) is
a remote monitoring system that gives your health
care provider access to your implanted device data
between scheduled of
fi ce visits. The LATITUDE system
is designed to improve patient care while providing
convenience to you.
The LATITUDE system uses advanced security
methods to protect your personal medical information.
Only authorized health care providers have access to
your information through the secure clinician website.
The LATITUDE system is not meant to assist with
health emergencies. If you are not feeling well, call your
health care provider or dial 911.
The LATITUDE Communicator
The LATITUDE Communicator is an in-home
monitoring system that uses a wireless communication
system to communicate with your implanted device.
The Communicator does not provide continuous
monitoring. It automatically reads implanted device
information at times scheduled by your health care
provider.
At scheduled intervals, the Communicator sends
your implanted device data to the LATITUDE system
through a standard telephone line or over a cellular
data network using the LATITUDE Cellular Data Plan
(see page 40). The Communicator receives periodic
schedule updates made by your health care provider
when it connects to the LATITUDE system.
