Faster, More Efficient Acute Care
Improving Care Pathways & Patient Outcomes
Today’s emergency departments (ED) face the challenge of delivering high-quality and timely acute care amid increasing patient volume and limited hospital resources. With cardiac device patients living longer, their visits to the ED are likely to increase.
Designed with these challenges in mind, our comprehensive portfolio of LATITUDE patient management products work together to give you rapid diagnostic data and 24/7 access to Boston Scientific technical analysis and expertise. These innovative tools can help you quickly triage cardiac device patients to the appropriate level of care, reduce the time spent in the ED and increase patient satisfaction.
Acute Care Products and Solutions
Our LATITUDE portfolio of patient management products for acute care settings are designed to reduce the wait time for pacemaker and defibrillator devices checks so you can make more timely medical decisions and improve patient outcomes.

LATITUDE™ Programming System, Model 3300
The LATITUDE Programming System, Model 3300 is a portable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) programming system designed to allow health care providers to interrogate, monitor and program Boston Scientific implantable pulse generators (IPGs).
It provides a common programming platform that is compatible with all contemporary Boston Scientific pacemakers and defibrillators and delivers faster processing capabilities for quicker device interrogations and data transfers.
LATITUDE Consult™ System
LATITUDE Consult lets you quickly conduct device checks 90% of the time3 without waiting for a device expert to arrive on site. One study showed an average of 122 minutes of time savings using LATITUDE Consult.4
Combining rapid device checks with convenient access to diagnostic data, the system empowers you to quickly triage patients, decrease patient wait times and improve outcomes.
Heart Connect™ System
If immediate attention is required, you can use Heart Connect to share the programmer screen with other health care providers or Boston Scientific representatives in real time.
By facilitating the sharing of expertise for challenging clinical scenarios, Heart Connect can help you reduce the time patients spend in the ED and increase patient satisfaction.
ZOOM® LATITUDE™ Programming System, Model 3120
The ZOOM LATITUDE Programming System is a cardiac rhythm management programming system designed to help you interrogate, monitor and program Boston Scientific implantable pulse generators.
The system seamlessly transfers patient data into your EMR system and enables you to make better, faster decisions in acute care settings.
