Description and Use
Four separate Operator’s Manuals describe the LATITUDE Programming
System:
1. LATITUDE
™
Programming System Operator’s Manual (Model 3300)
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.
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
2
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 60601-1-
2, has the ability to:
• Interrogate and program a supported PG using wanded, inductive, and RF
telemetry
• Initiate a 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
Boston Scientific hereby declares that this device is in compliance with the
essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC for
Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (RTTE). To obtain a full
text Declaration of Conformity, contact Boston Scientific using the information
on the back cover of this manual.
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
3
• Use as an external pacemaker1
WARNINGS
•Use of unspecified cables and accessories.
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.
1. During implantation, the PSA application is suitable for temporary external pacing while the
patient is being continuously monitored by medical personnel.
4
•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.
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 PSA application on 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.
5
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 Practices2. Under
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.
2. Kanal E, et al., American Journal of Roentgenology 188:1447-74, 2007.
6
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.
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.
7
•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.
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. For air shipments, the battery
charge cannot exceed 30% per applicable aviation regulations. Shipping
with a charge greater than 30% is in direct violation of aviation regulations
and may result in significant fines to the shipper including the individual
responsible for the shipment. When shipping by air, a Lithium-ion battery
handling label must be applied to the outer shipping box visible to the
carrier. There are no restrictions for ground shipments nor is a Lithium-ion
battery handling label required for ground shipments.
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.
8
•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
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).
•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.
9
• 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.
•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 42 for sterilization and cleaning
information.
10
•Model 3203 S-ICD Telemetry Wand shipped non-sterile . The Model
3203 S-ICD Telemetry Wand is shipped non-sterile. Remove the wand
from all packaging material before use. If the wand is to be used in a sterile
field, it must be enclosed in a sterile intraoperative probe cover (Model
3320) during use. Refer to "Cleaning the Programmer and Accessories" on
page 42 for cleaning information.
•Electrical and magnetic interference. Avoid establishing telemetry
communication between the Programmer and the PG when the
Programmer is in close proximity to monitors, high-frequency
electrocautery equipment, or strong magnetic fields. The telemetry link
may be impaired.
•External antenna usage for RF telemetry. The Model 3203 S-ICD
Telemetry Wand may be used as an additional antenna to improve the
Programmer’s RF telemetry performance. If the wand is placed in a sterile
field, it must be enclosed in a disposable, sterile surgical sheath (Model
3320) during use. When the Model 3203 S-ICD Telemetry wand is not
used for RF telemetry, be sure to disconnect the Model 3203 S-ICD
Telemetry Wand from the Programmer to prevent telemetry dropouts.
•Equipment modifications. No modification of this equipment is allowed
unless approved by Boston Scientific. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Boston Scientific could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Maintenance and Handling
•Cleaning the Programmer. Do not use an abrasive cloth or volatile
solvents to clean any portion of the device. See "Cleaning the Programmer
and Accessories" on page 42 for recommended cleaning.
•Magnet handling. Do not place a magnet on the Programmer.
•Presence of flammables. The LATITUDE Programming System is not
waterproof or explosion-proof and cannot be sterilized. Do not use it in the
presence of flammable gas mixtures including anesthetics, oxygen, or
nitrous oxide.
•Disconnecting the Programmer. To completely disconnect the
Programmer from the power source, first press and release the power
button to turn the system off. Then disconnect the power cord from the
side of the Programmer.
•Programmer accessibility. Ensure that the sides of the Programmer are
accessible at all times so that the power adapter cord can be
disconnected.
•Lithium-ion battery. The Model 6753 Lithium-ion battery contains highly
flammable chemicals and should be handled with caution. Abuse of this
battery can result in fire or explosion. Read the following prior to using this
battery:
• Do not expose the battery to temperatures above 140°F (60°C).
11
• Do not puncture the battery as it can lead to a fire or explosion. If the
battery housing is punctured, or otherwise visibly damaged, do not
attempt to use it.
• Do not strike the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts.
• Do not submerge the battery in any fluids.
• Do not connect the + and – terminals with wire or any conductive
objects.
• Do not disassemble, modify, or repair the battery.
• Only use the Model 3300 Programmer to charge the battery. Use of
any other battery charger can permanently damage the battery or
even cause a fire or explosion.
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.

appropriate connector (LV or A/RV).
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 52.
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
21
performance. Refer to "Steps to Improve ZIP (RF) Telemetry Performance"
on page 23 for additional information.

Antenna Locations Within the Enclosure
Steps to Improve ZIP (RF) Telemetry Performance
Perform the following to increase RF telemetry performance:
1. Disconnect all unused cables and wands and stow them.
2. All remaining connected patient side cables (PSA, ECG) should exit
perpendicular to the Programmer and (as much as possible) directly
toward the patient.
3. All remaining connected physician side cables (power, USB, DisplayPort,
Ethernet) should be routed away from the patient.
4. If there are any electrical equipment (laptop, monitor, etc.) or metal objects
adjacent to the Programmer, move them away from the Programmer as
much as possible.
5. Move the Programmer closer to the patient, ideally away from a busy or
crowded location in the room.
6. Change the Programmer orientation by rotating the Programmer up to 45
degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise or by placing the Programmer into
the optional Model 6755 Stand.
7. Ensure that clinic staff are not in the line of sight between the Programmer
and the implanted PG.
8. If telemetry is still not consistent, attach the Model 3203 S-ICD Telemetry
Wand and place it within 0.6 m (2 ft) of the implanted PG. In the sterile
field, use a Model 3320 Intraoperative Probe Cover and place the wand on
top of the patient’s stomach.
• When not used for RF telemetry, be sure to disconnect the Model
3203 S-ICD Telemetry Wand from the Programmer to prevent
telemetry dropouts.
9. If ZIP telemetry is not successful for a PG capable of RF telemetry, use the
Model 6395 Telemetry Wand to interrogate the PG.

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.
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.
66
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
