Class 2
Intended Use
The Canary Tibial Extension (CTE) with Canary Health Implanted Reporting Processor (CHIRP) System is intended to provide objective kinematic data from the implanted medical device during a patient's total knee arthroplasty (TKA) postsurgical care. The kinematic data are an adjunct to other physiological parameter measurement tools applied or utilized by the physician during the course of patient monitoring and treatment post-surgery.
Device Story
CTE with CHIRP system provides objective kinematic data post-TKA; adjunct to other physiological measurement tools. System includes: CTE implant, OR base station (BS1), home base station (BS2), Canary Cloud platform, and CMGP software. Implant collects internal motion sensor data; transmits to base stations via communication interface; data uploaded to cloud. Updated version adds low-power accelerometer for activity monitoring (step counting) and motion-triggered kinematic data collection to optimize battery life. Used by patients and HCPs; data assists physician monitoring between office visits. Not intended to support clinical decision-making; no clinical benefit shown.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Non-clinical performance data included shock survival, electrical life testing, battery longevity, electronic functionality, and software verification.
Technological Characteristics
Implantable tibial extension with integrated CHIRP processor. Includes internal motion sensors and low-power accelerometer. Connectivity via communication interface to base stations and cloud. Software-based data collection and processing. Materials, geometry, and sterility identical to predicate.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing a cemented TKA procedure who are normally indicated for at least a 58mm sized tibial stem extension.

| Purpose of Submission: | The purpose of this submission is to add a dedicated low-power<br>accelerometer for activity monitoring (step counting) and detection of<br>significant motion to trigger kinematic data collection. The design<br>enhancements are intended to increase the kinematic data sampling day<br>collection capability using the same battery. The design enhancement<br>does not change the intended use / indications for use or fundamental<br>scientific technology of the device. The addition of the accelerometer<br>necessitates other accommodations to the printed circuit board assembly<br>(PCBA) and associated embedded software. |
| Device Description: | The Canary Tibial Extension (CTE) with Canary Health Implanted<br>Reporting Processor (CHIRP) System is comprised of the following<br>subsystems:<br>Canary Tibial Extension (CTE) implant, Operating Room (OR) Base Station System ("BS1"), Home Base Station System ("BS2"), Canary Cloud Data Management Platform ("Cloud") and Canary Medical Gait Parameters (CMGP software module). |
| Indications for Use: | The CTE and CHIRP System is intended to provide objective kinematic<br>data on patient's total knee arthroplasty (TKA) function. The kinematic<br>data produced by the CTE implant is intended as an adjunct to other<br>physiological measurement tools post TKA surgical care while providing<br>additional tibial stability afforded by traditional tibial extensions of<br>similar length. The implanted CTE collects data from internal motion<br>sensors, and when queried by a BS1 or BS2 over a communication<br>interface, transmits the motion data to the Base Station System. The<br>Base Station System, in turn, uploads the data to the Canary Cloud Data<br>Management Platform. The User is defined as the Patient with the CTE<br>and CHIRP System and their designated Health Care Professional (HCP)<br>with access to the Patient's CTE data.<br><br>The CTE is designed for use with the Zimmer Biomet Persona Personalized<br>Knee System tibial baseplate, to provide additional stability and collect<br>kinematic data to assist the physician in monitoring patient activity<br>following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in between office visits.<br><br>The Canary Tibial Extension (CTE) with Canary Health Implanted<br>Reporting Processor (CHIRP) System is intended to provide objective<br>kinematic data from the implanted medical device during a patient's<br>total knee arthroplasty (TKA) post-surgical care.

| Summary of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics and<br>Comparison: | The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on comparative<br>assessment of the following characteristics:<br>• Indications for use: Same as predicate device.<br>• Materials: Same as the predicate device.<br>• Geometry/Configuration/Size (of Tibial Extension): Same as the<br>predicate device. |
| | Sterility: Same as the predicate device. Packaging: Same as the predicate device. |
| Summary of<br>Performance Data: | The following non-clinical tests were performed to support the<br>modifications to the subject device: Shock Survival Electrical Life Test Battery Longevity Electronic Functionality Software Verification |
| Substantial Equivalence<br>Conclusion: | The subject device has the same intended use and indications for use as<br>the predicate device. The subject device has the same technological<br>characteristics to the predicate, and the performance data and analyses<br>demonstrate that: any differences do not raise new questions of safety and<br>effectiveness; and the proposed device is at least as safe and effective as the legally<br>marketed predicate device. |
