Intended Use
This device is indicated for patients with severe knee pain and disability due to: - Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis. - Collagen disorders, and/or avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle. - Post-traumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy. - Moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformities. - The salvage of previously failed surgical attempts or for a knee in which satisfactory stability in flexion cannot be obtained at the time of surgery. Porous coated tibial baseplate components may be used cemented or uncemented (biological fixation). All other femoral, tibial baseplates and all-polyethylene (UHMWPE and VEXLPE) patella components are indicated for cemented use only.
Device Description
The Zimmer® Persona™ Personalized Knee System is a semi-constrained modular knee prosthesis designed to resurface the articulating surface of the femoral, tibial and patellar bones. The Persona Knee System utilizes a modular design between the tibial plates and articular surfaces.
More Information

No
The summary describes a traditional knee prosthesis with no mention of AI or ML in its design, function, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is a knee prosthesis indicated for patients with severe knee pain and disability due to various conditions, aiming to resurface the articulating surfaces of the knee bones. This directly addresses and treats a medical condition.

No
The device is described as a knee prosthesis used to resurface bones, which is a treatment rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "semi-constrained modular knee prosthesis designed to resurface the articulating surface of the femoral, tibial and patellar bones," indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a surgical implant designed to replace damaged knee joints in patients with various conditions. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a modular knee prosthesis, which is a physical implant used in surgery.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and durability of the implant, which are relevant for a surgical device, not an IVD.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device clearly falls outside of that definition.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Performance and Conclusions:
Vivacit-E material characteristics for the Persona Knee System are identical to the predicate Zimmer Vivacit-E Acetabular Polyethylene Liners (K120370). In contrast to conventional polyethylene, the Vivacit-E material is delamination resistant and exhibits a reduction in wear according to knee simulator bench testing.

§ 888.3565 Knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a knee joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device is designed to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement. This identification includes fixed-bearing knee prostheses where the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene tibial bearing is rigidly secured to the metal tibial base plate.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance: “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 888.1 for the availability of this guidance.
