Reason for Recall
Boston Scientific has identified two occurrences where the LATITUDE system did not process a data payload, which is the information uploaded to the LATITUDE system from a remote interrogation of the implanted device. These occurrences resulted in non-displayed payloads because the data is not posted to the website. If the payload is not displayed, the pertinent data will not be available on the
Distribution

Action Taken
Boston Scientific notified all affected customers by telephone on May 25, 2011. The customers were informed that there was an interrogation for one of their patients that was not able to be displayed on the website. Boston Scientific detected that a payload failure had occurred, but could not conclude what information was contained within the payload. Each patient has had previous and subsequent payloads that have processed and displayed on the LATITUDE website.
