Description and Use

Four separate Operator’s Manuals describe the LATITUDE Programming
System:
1. LATITUDE
2. Pacing System Analyzer (PSA) Operator’s Manual (Model 3922)
3. Patient Data Management Operator’s Manual (Model 3931)
4. Network and Connectivity Operator’s Manual (Model 3924)
These manuals are also available online at:
www.bostonscientific-elabeling.com.
The Model 3300 Programmer is the programming device of the LATITUDE
Programming System, which is a portable cardiac rhythm management system
designed to be used with specific Boston Scientific systems, i.e., implantable
pulse generators (PGs) and leads.

Intended Use

The LATITUDE Programming System is intended for use in hospital and clinical
environments to communicate with Boston Scientific implantable systems. The
software in use controls all communication functions for the PG. For detailed
software application instructions, refer to the associated product literature for
the PG being interrogated.
Programming System Operator’s Manual (Model 3300)

Intended Audience

The LATITUDE Programming System is intended for use by health care
professionals trained or experienced in device implant and/or follow-up
procedures.

Required Expertise and Knowledge

Users must be thoroughly familiar with electrotherapy of the heart. Only
qualified medical specialists having the special knowledge required for the
proper use of the device are permitted to use it.
Physician Supervision
The LATITUDE Programming System may only be operated under the constant
supervision of a physician. During a procedure, the patient must be
1
continuously monitored by medical personnel with the aid of a surface ECG monitor.

Essential Performance

In order for the LATITUDE Programming System to meet its intended use, it must communicate with Boston Scientific implantable PGs. Therefore those functions that pertain to communications with the implanted PGs using telemetry wands are considered essential performance.
LATITUDE Programming System performance determined to be essential by Boston Scientific for electromagnetic compatibility testing, as per IEC 60601-1­2, has the ability to:
Interrogate and program a supported PG using wanded telemetry
Initiate a PG STAT PACE, PSA STAT PACE, STAT SHOCK, or DIVERT THERAPY command to a PG where supported
Display real-time intracardiac electrograms
Supports touchscreen tap and button press interactions
Deliver pacing and perform impedance lead measurements with the Pacing System Analyzer (PSA) function
NOTE: No recurring calibration of the LATITUDE Programming System or its applications is required or needed.

Contraindications

The LATITUDE Programming System is contraindicated for use with any PG other than a Boston Scientific PG. For contraindications for use related to the PG, refer to the associated product literature for the PG being interrogated.
The PSA application is contraindicated for use with any programming system other than the Boston Scientific Model 3300 LATITUDE Programming System.
The following uses of the PSA are contraindicated:
With AV conduction disorders; atrial single-chamber pacing
With competing intrinsic rhythms; asynchronous modes
With chronic atrial tachycardia as well as chronic atrial fibrillation or flutter; modes with atrial control (DDD, VDD)
With poor tolerance of high ventricular rates (e.g., with angina pectoris); tracking modes (i.e., atrial control modes) and propensity for atrial tachycardia
Use as an external pacemaker
1

WARNINGS

Use of unspecified cables and accessories.
1. During implantation, the PSA application is suitable for temporary external pacing while the patient is being continuously monitored by medical personnel.
2
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.
3
The LATITUDE Programming System is designed and tested to be electrocautery safe.
While the device is designed and tested to be electrocautery safe, electrocautery can induce electrical currents in the PSA cables that can be conducted into the patient’s heart. However, Boston Scientific recommends that the Programmer be placed as far from the electrocautery system and associated components as possible to minimize noise being introduced into the LATITUDE Programming System and patient cables.
Never stack the Programmer on top of an electrocautery system or associated components.
Do not drape electrocautery components or cables on or near the Programmer or associated cables and components.
Whenever possible disconnect the PSA cables from the pacing leads when performing an electrocautery procedure.
If the Programmer is connected to the patient during an electrocautery procedure, check its operation afterwards.
If the Programmer experiences an issue that causes an error condition, the Programmer will need to be power cycled. During the reset and reboot, which takes up to one minute, there will be no pacing support. For this reason, a backup PSA/pace resource must be available in case electrocautery is applied.
LATITUDE Programming System location.
Use of the Model 3300 Programmer adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
LATITUDE Programming System must remain outside sterile field.
The Programmer is non-sterile and cannot be sterilized. Do not allow the device to enter a sterile zone in an implant environment.
Physiological signals.
Operation of the LATITUDE Programming System with physiological signals that are lower than the minimum detectable amplitude may cause inaccurate results.
LATITUDE Programming System is MR unsafe.
The LATITUDE Programming System is MR Unsafe and must remain outside the MRI site Zone III (and higher) as defined by the American College of Radiology Guidance Document for Safe MR Practices no circumstances should the LATITUDE Programming System be brought into the MRI scanner room, the control room, or the MRI site Zone III or IV areas.

Induction.
When activating PSA Burst Pacing, which may cause unpredictable arrhythmias, always have cardiac emergency equipment (e.g., external pacemaker, external defibrillator) in an operational status available for immediate life support.
Consider additional preemptive measures in patients where acceleration or a loss of rhythm could cause life-threatening danger.
External defibrillation.
The LATITUDE Programming System is designed and tested to be defibrillation safe.
While the Programmer is designed and tested to be defibrillation safe, the patient can be endangered and the Programmer can be damaged.
The PSA cable must be disconnected from the lead(s) before using external defibrillation.
Whenever possible, disconnect all cables from the patient when using external defibrillation equipment.
If the LATITUDE Programming System is connected to the patient during defibrillation, verify that the Programmer is operating as expected after defibrillation.
External pacing equipment.
If the patient is pacer dependent and the Programmer encounters a fault condition, pacing operation continues unless the fault was in the PSA component itself. For this reason, always have external pacing equipment available for patient back-up.
Loss of power.
Operating the Programmer with a depleted internal battery or no battery can suspend Programmer function if AC power is temporarily interrupted.
If an optional battery is used, do not use a depleted or unapproved battery. For additional patient safety, when the battery level indicator shows 25% or less remaining, connect the AC power to the Programmer.
When operating on battery power, do not attempt to replace the battery.
A yellow attention message displays on the Programmer screen when the battery reaches 25% depletion. When the battery reaches 10% depletion or less, a red warning message displays. At 5%, there is another red warning message followed by a 60–second automatic shutdown.
Loss of pacing support.
5
Always have external cardiac pacing equipment in an operational status available for immediate life support.
Initially, when the Programmer is switched on, the pacing functions are switched off while a self-test is conducted. No pacing is possible during the self-test, which can take up to one minute.
Connecting the PSA cable to the wrong lead may result in ineffective sensing and pacing behavior and loss of pacing support.
If the user manually restarts the Programmer, pacing support is lost until the system completes its self-test, which can take up to one minute and the user must restart PSA manually if desired.
If there is no battery installed, pacing support will be lost if AC power is lost.
Impaired AV conduction.
Single chamber atrial modes are contraindicated for patients with impaired AV conduction.
If the patient has impaired AV conduction, AAI programming and antegrade conduction tests must not be performed.
Abruptly terminating pacing.
Abruptly terminating pacing may result in extended periods of asystole in some patients.
Gradually decrease the pacing rate until the patient’s intrinsic rate is detected for a controlled transition from pace to intrinsic rhythm.
Loss of capture.
Pacing threshold testing implies loss of capture. At loss of capture, asystole and pacing during vulnerable periods can occur.
Consider the health of the patient prior to performing a pacing threshold test.
Use of protective sleeves.
Incorrect positioning of the protective silicone rubber sleeves over the PSA cable clip(s) can cause unintended electrical connections that can impair cable function and endanger the patient.
Before connecting cables, ensure correct position of protective sleeves.
Do not use wet cables.
Moisture on wet cables can impair cable function and endanger the patient.
Exposure to fluids.
6
Before cleaning and disinfecting the Programmer surfaces, power down the device and disconnect the external power supply. Before operating the LATITUDE Programming System, let cleaning and disinfection agents used on the Programmer evaporate.
Emissions and interference.
The emissions characteristics of this equipment make it suitable for use in industrial areas and hospitals (CISPR 11 class A). If it is used in a residential environment (for which CISPR 11 class B is normally required), this equipment might not offer adequate protection to radio-frequency communication services. The user might need to take mitigation measures, such as relocating or reorienting the equipment. Other equipment may interfere with the LATITUDE Programming System, even if that equipment complies with the CISPR emission requirements.
Lithium-ion battery.
The Model 6753 Battery is a Lithium-ion battery and, as such, is deemed a Dangerous Good in regards to shipping. Do not return the Model 6753 battery to Boston Scientific. Dispose of the battery as required by local regulations. If the battery must be shipped, contact your local shipper for instructions and shipping requirements.

PRECAUTIONS

General
Functional impairment due to external damage. Mechanical impact, for
example dropping the Programmer unpackaged, can permanently impair the function of the system. Do not use the Programmer if there is apparent damage. If damage has occurred, contact Boston Scientific to return the Programmer using the information on the back cover of this manual.
Programming System. Use only the appropriate LATITUDE
Programming System equipped with the appropriate software to program specific Boston Scientific PGs.
Wand use. For transvenous PG telemetry, use only the Model 6395
Telemetry Wand with the LATITUDE Programming System.
Stylus use. If you want to use a stylus, ensure that it is a projected
capacitance stylus. The use of any other object could damage the touchscreen.
Electrocautery cables. Keep all electrocautery cables at least 30 cm (12
in) away from the LATITUDE Programming System to avoid false signals due to electrocautery energy.
Leakage current. Although optional external equipment connected to the
Model 3300 Programmer must meet the applicable leakage-current requirements for commercial products, it may not meet the more stringent
7
leakage requirements for medical products. Consequently, all external equipment must be kept outside the patient environment.
Never touch the electrical contacts on the side panels of the Model 3300 Programmer and the patient, a telemetry wand, or any cable at the same time.
Wand temperature (Model 6395 only). Telemetry procedures exceeding
8 hours may require a thermal insulator between the Model 6395 Telemetry Wand head and the patient’s skin as the wand head temperature can range from 33 - 41 ºC (88 - 106 ºF).
PSA connections. Ensure leads are connected appropriately for desired
use; incorrect setup can result in pacing/sensing events, which display under a different chamber on the screen. The PSA application user interface associates specific lead connections with the RA, RV, and LV chambers on screen to support testing all three chambers with minimal change of physical connections. Saved PSA measurements are also labeled automatically based upon the chamber in use on the screen. These labels can later be adjusted by the user if the decision is made to use one physical connection to test other chambers (for example, using only the RV connection to test RA, RV, and LV leads).
PSA connector clips. Do not clip any PSA connector directly to the skin,
pocket, or other tissue of the patient.
Ventricular Sensing. During a PSA session, ventricular sensing behavior
is driven by the most recently selected ventricular pacing configuration: RV-only, LV-only, or Bi-V.
At system startup, the PSA mode is set to ODO (non-pacing) and the effective ventricular pacing configuration is Bi-V.
When a non-pacing mode (ODO or OVO) is selected from the mode palette, sensing is set to Bi-V to ensure sensing is enabled on both leads regardless of any prior configuration.
ECG cable open/short. Loss of the ECG signal in case of an ECG cable
open/short can affect diagnosis and screening by prolonging the procedure or preventing the procedure from completing.
Check cables first and replace if cracked or worn.
If cable is not functioning properly, replace it.
Model 6689 Power Adapter. The power adapter normally gets warm
when it is in use or charging. Do not place the power adapter in the storage pocket of the stand while it is in use or charging as the confined space will not allow the heat to dissipate adequately.
Ethernet. If desired for use, connect the Ethernet cable only to the RJ45
Ethernet port connector on the Model 3300 Programmer. Insertion or removal of the Ethernet cable during operation may affect networking functions. The RJ45 Ethernet connection on the Model 3300 Programmer is for Local Area Networking (LAN) use only. It is not to be used for a telephone connection.
8
Inductive telemetry. Using the Programmer on battery power only may
reduce the telemetry distance (from wand to implanted device). If needed, use AC power to improve inductive telemetry.
Battery operation during long-term storage . Remove battery to prevent
discharging when storing the Programmer for long periods (e.g., months).
Date and time accuracy. Inability to access a remote time server could
lead to discrepancies in the Programmer time. As a backup, the Boston Scientific representative can set the time and date manually.
Patient data. Patient data may be stored on the Programmer up to 14
days and appropriate precautions should be taken to secure the programmer from unauthorized access.
Delete all patient data from the Programmer (refer to the Patient Data Management Operator’s Manual (Model 3931) for delete instructions) before shipping the Programmer or at any time when the Programmer leaves your direct control.
Only connect to known Bluetooth
®
devices to reduce the potential of
transmitting patient data to inappropriate printers or devices.
USB devices. USB devices connected to the Programmer should be
controlled to limit the potential introduction of malware.
External device battery usage. Using external devices (USB, display
monitor) will deplete the battery. To extend Programmer performance, refrain from using external devices when on battery power only and the battery level indicator shows 25% or less remaining.
Software. Ensure that you have the latest software versions installed (see
"Software Update Tab" on page 35). As a backup, your local Boston Scientific representative can provide software updates using a USB pen drive.
Model 6395 Telemetry Wand shipped non-sterile. The Model 6395
Telemetry Wand is shipped non-sterile. Remove the wand from all packaging material before sterilizing it. If the wand is to be used in a sterile field, it must be actively sterilized before use or enclosed in a disposable sterile surgical sheath (Model 3320) during use. Refer to "Cleaning the Programmer and Accessories" on page 43 for sterilization and cleaning information.
Model 3203 S-ICD Telemetry Wand shipped non-sterile . The Model

10
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.

2. Connect the appropriate telemetry wand to its connector:
Model 6395 Telemetry Wand
Model 3203 S-ICD Telemetry Wand
NOTE: Under battery-operated power with wanded telemetry, the LATITUDE Programming System is able to communicate with the PG beneath the patient’s skin. For most pectoral implants, the telemetry is sufficient to communicate with the PG. For abdominal implants, the distance may be greater and battery-operated power only may not be sufficient to maintain reliable communication. To achieve maximum inductive telemetry communication with the PG, always use external power.
3. Connect the surface ECG patient cable to the ECG connector. Attach the surface electrodes to the patient in a standard three-wire or five-wire configuration.
NOTE: The ECG function may be sensitive to high-frequency ambient noise when the ECG inputs are not attached. If the electrodes are not attached to the patient, they may be sensitive to high-frequency environmental noise and therefore provide a poor signal. The ECG surface traces can be turned off if excessive noise is present.
NOTE: The ECG function is intended to be used during patient exams for tests such as pace threshold testing.
NOTE: The ECG function may exhibit noise interference if the LATITUDE Programming System is in close proximity to high-frequency electrosurgical equipment. For corrective action, refer to "Troubleshooting" on page 53.
4. If MICS or RF telemetry is insufficient, connect the Model 3203 S-ICD Telemetry Wand to its connector. The S-ICD telemetry wand acts as an extra RF antenna. Orient this wand as necessary to improve RF telemetry

LATITUDE PROGRAMMING SYSTEM SECURITY

Sensible security practices are needed to protect patient data and the LATITUDE Programming System integrity when connected to a network. The Programmer incorporates features that facilitate management of network security. These features work in conjunction with the security practices of hospitals and clinics to provide safe and secure operation of the Programmer and protect the attached network.
NOTE: All patient data is encrypted on the Programmer internal hard drive, and the Programmer has network security safeguards in place to prevent malicious attacks.

Software

All installed software has been approved by Boston Scientific and general purpose software installation is not permitted. This minimizes the potential for vulnerabilities to be exposed. Internal software that runs the Programmer is locked from change and is re-verified upon each execution. Whenever Boston Scientific software updates are available, install them as soon as possible. Programmer settings should only be modified per guidance from verified Boston Scientific technical support or Health Care Delivery personnel.

Patient Data Management

Refer to the Patient Data Management Operator’s Manual (Model 3931) for additional security information.

Network

Refer to the Network and Connectivity Operator’s Manual (Model 3924) for additional networking and connectivity security information.
66

Unsupported Hardware

Unsupported hardware, including unsupported USB devices, is ignored by the Programmer and is not accessed.

Security Vigilance

Boston Scientific continues to work with its partners to analyze emerging threats and evaluate potential impact on the LATITUDE Programming System.

Physical Controls

Maintain good physical controls over the Programmer. Having a secure physical environment prevents access to the internals of the Programmer. USB devices connected to the Programmer should be controlled to limit potential introduction of malware. Patient sensitive information may be stored on the Programmer and appropriate precautions should be taken to secure the Programmer from unauthorized access.

Compromised Programmer

If you believe that the Programmer has been compromised by a security threat, turn off the Programmer, disconnect it from the network, then restart the LATITUDE Programming System. Discontinue use of the Programmer if it fails the start-up self test or does not operate as expected. For further assistance, contact Boston Scientific using the information on the back cover of this manual.
