process to ensure optimum communication between your
implanted device and the Communicator.
When you press the Interrogate button, the Communicator
checks to make sure that the interrogation is permitted,
because some physicians will choose to turn this feature off.
If the interrogation is permitted, messages appear on the
Communicator that instruct you how to begin and complete
the interrogation.
If the interrogation is not permitted, either because the limit
has been reached or because the feature has been disabled,
the Communicator automatically calls the LATITUDE database.
This is done to check for a change in the number of patient
initiated interrogations allowed or to check if this feature has
been re-enabled.
CAUTIONS:
• Normal use of the LATITUDE system has been accounted
for in the projected battery life of your implanted device.
Using the blue Interrogate button more than as prompted
by your Communicator or as instructed by your physician
may lead to a decrease in the battery life of your
implanted device.
• If you feel poorly or are in need of immediate care, call
your physician or 911.
