Action
The recalling firm issued letters to LATITUDE Healthcare Professionals via third-party Federal Express with signature at the account required on 2/2/2023. The letter informed the HCP that records indicate they may have U.S. patients who do not have HeartLogic enabled as the HCP may have intended in the Model 6460 U.S. LATITUDE NXT Patient Management System. The patients included within the enclosed list are scheduled to have HeartLogic enabled in LATITUDE ON 2/14/2023. The letter provides the clinical impact and recommendations. The recommendations include: (1) Distribute this information to appropriate HCPs within your center who manage HeartLogic alerts for the patients in the enclosed list; and (2) If you do NOT want HeartLogic enabled in LATITUDE for patients in the enclosed list, contact Boston Scientific LATITUDE Customer Support via [email protected] before 2/14/2023 and identify which patients should NOT be enabled. On 2/14/2023, BSC will correct the data on the Model 6460 LATITUDE Server for affected patients, unless a request not to enable is received by the firm prior to this date. Update: on 02/14/2023, Boston Scientific sent an additional letter, due to the original letter being lost in the mail.
