Cloud. The action of associating the CTE with the patient also enables the home base station to
recognize the CTE when the patient returns home after surgery, thus enabling upload of
kinematic data from the CTE to the Canary Cloud without patient intervention. The OR Base
Station System consists of an OR Base Station unit, dedicated laptop PC loaded with the Canary
software application, barcode scanner, and USB cables. Figure 8 shows a schematic of the OR
Base Station System.

4.4.2. Home Base Station System
The Home Base Station System is located at the patient’s home, where it is set up by the
patient prior to the date of surgery. The Home Base Station System provides an interface for
communication with the patient’s CTE implant. It consists of a Home Base Station unit, the
patient’s USB-enabled personal computer, the patient’s wireless Internet connection, and a
USB power and data cable. After TKA surgery, the Home Base Station unit begins collecting the
patient’s gait and activity information from the CTE. The Home Base Station unit transmits the
data to the Cloud, and has the capability to store the data for up to forty five days.
Figure 9 shows a schematic of the Home Base Station System communication.
