What to expect before and after surgery?
What should I do before surgery?
• Your doctor will initiate your Canary account and you’ll finish setting it up using the Quick Start Guide for Patient Account Setup.
• You’ll also set up your Home Base Station before your surgery using the Home Base Station Quick Start Guide.
What to expect after surgery?
• Your canturio®te will automatically start collecting your activity data.
• At night, your canturio®te will communicate with your Home Base Station and send your activity data to your doctor and your Patient Dashboard.
• Both you and your doctor can view your activity data to see how you’re recovering and how active you are for many years after.
• You’ll be able to access your data using either your Patient Dashboard or the Patient Mobile App.
Data collection and security
What data is collected?
When is data collected?
• canturio®te collects data during the day and transfers that data at night, while you sleep.
• Up to 30 days of data can be stored by your canturio®te. This means that you’re OK to be away from your Home Base Station for several nights without losing data.
• canturio®te collects data every day for nearly a year after your surgery and then periodically thereafter.
• Your canturio®te device will collect data for at least 10 years, more likely the lifetime of the implant.
Is my data secure?
• Yes. Data from your canturio®te implant are sent to our Health Information Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant servers over a secure connection to ensure that your health information is protected and remains private.
Traveling with your Canary implant
When is data collected?
• You can travel with your Canary canturio®te.
• Knee implants set off metal detectors. Just tell the security agent that you have a knee implant beforehand. It’s also a good idea to carry your implant ID card with you.
• Talk with your doctor or consult your Patient Manual if you are going to be away from home for more than 30 days.
