System Power up.
Boston Scientific recommends attaching all necessary
cables and devices before turning on the Model 3300 Programmer.
Radio Frequency (RF) Performance
To reduce emissions and improve RF performance, adhere to the following
guidelines:
•
Avoid establishing telemetry communication between the Programmer and
the PG when the device is in close proximity to monitors, high-frequency
electrosurgical equipment, or strong magnetic fields. The telemetry link
(RF or inductive) may be impaired.
•
Do not loop any cables around or over the Programmer.
•
Cables on the physician side panel and patient side panel should be kept
on their respective sides to minimize coupling.
•
Route cables directly away from the Programmer when possible.
•
When using the DisplayPort output to external video or a digital monitor:
–
Keep the external video or digital monitor and its cable routed away
from the Programmer to avoid electrical interference.
–
Use high-quality shielded cables with integral conversions (e.g.,
DisplayPort to HDMI) when possible.
–
Minimize the use of active adapters other than those identified by
Boston Scientific as they can create emissions that can interfere with
PG telemetry.
Adverse Effects
None known.
SYSTEM CAPABILITIES
The LATITUDE Programming System communicates with PGs and provides
the following capabilities in hardware, interrogation/programming, patient data
management, networking, and software:
Hardware
•
Color touchscreen display with capacitive touch
•
Internal hard drive
•
Connections allow for a patient ECG cable and PSA cable to be input and
displayed on the Programmer (certain applications only)
•
DisplayPort for an optional external display
•
USB ports (4) available for patient data export to a standard USB 2.0 or
3.0 pen drive, connection to an external printer, or used for software
installation by Boston Scientific personnel
NOTE:
The USB ports are forward and backward compatible. USB 2.0
devices work in USB 3.0 ports and USB 3.0 devices work in USB 2.0 ports.
