  • 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 components may be used cemented or uncemented (biological fixation). All other femoral, tibial baseplate, and all-polyethylene (UHMWPE and VEXLPE) patella components are indicated for cemented use only.

Device Description

The Persona™ Personalized Knee System is a semiconstrained 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. The addition of the Trabecular Metal™ femoral component will provide surgeons with the ability to implant with, or without cement (biological fixation).

AI/ML Overview

The Zimmer® Persona™ Personalized Knee System is a medical device for knee replacement. The provided document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing an extensive study report with detailed acceptance criteria and performance metrics typically found in efficacy trials.

Here's a breakdown based on the information provided:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document states that "Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for this device" because it is a Class II device demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices. Therefore, the acceptance criteria are met by demonstrating that the new device exhibits similar or identical performance characteristics to these predicate devices through non-clinical (bench) testing. The acceptance criteria are implicit in the FDA guidance documents followed for testing.

Property or CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from FDA Guidance)Reported Device Performance
Posterior Condyle Fatigue Testing in a Cantilever Loading Condition of the Persona™ Trabecular Metal™ femoral componentAdequate posterior condyle fatigue strength as defined by FDA Guidance: Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses. (The specific quantitative acceptance value is not stated in this summary, but would be detailed in the full test report).Demonstrated adequate posterior condyle fatigue strength of the uncemented Persona™ Trabecular Metal™ femoral component in the cantilever loading condition.
Posterior Condyle Fatigue of Persona™ Trabecular Metal™ femoral component in three-point Bend Loading ConditionAdequate posterior condyle fatigue performance as defined by FDA Guidance: Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses. (The specific quantitative acceptance value is not stated in this summary).Demonstrated adequate posterior condyle fatigue performance of the Persona™ Trabecular Metal™ femoral component in a 3-point bend loading condition.
Modified Metallic Surface Characterization for the Persona™ Trabecular Metal™ Porous femoral knee component with Trabecular Metal™Mechanical, physical, and chemical analyses in accordance with the Guidance Document for Testing Orthopedic Implants with Modified Metallic Surfaces Apposing Bone or Bone Cement. (Specific quantitative acceptance metrics for these analyses are not stated in this summary).Mechanical, physical, and chemical analyses of Trabecular Metal™ were assessed in accordance with the Guidance Document for Testing Orthopedic Implants with Modified Metallic Surfaces Apposing Bone or Bone Cement. (Implied that the results met the requirements of the guidance).
Static Tensile, Static Shear and Shear Fatigue of Trabecular Metal™ Diffusion Bonded to Zimaloy-One Hour Cycles, 0.28mm Ti Sheet InterlayerBond strength that met the 20 MPa static tensile test and static shear acceptance criteria. (The specific acceptance criteria for shear fatigue, if numerical, are not explicitly stated, but are implied to be met).Demonstrated that one hour diffusion bonding cycles for Trabecular Metal™ produces a bond that met the 20 MPa static tensile test and static shear acceptance criteria.
Evaluation of Interactions of the Zimmer Legacy Knee and Persona Primary Implant Systems with the Magnetic Fields in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) EnvironmentSafety and compatibility within the MRI environment, as defined by FDA Guidance: Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment. (Specific quantitative acceptance metrics for MR safety, such as temperature rise or artifact size, are not stated in this summary).Demonstrated safety and compatibility within the MRI environment.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance:

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (number of components tested) for each non-clinical bench test. These details would typically be found in the full test protocols and reports, but are not included in this summary.
  • Data Provenance: The data provenance is "Non-Clinical Performance and Conclusions," meaning the tests were conducted in a laboratory setting (bench testing) rather than on human subjects. This is not retrospective or prospective clinical data. The location of the testing laboratories is not specified.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts:

This is not applicable. For bench testing of medical devices like knee implants, ground truth is established by engineering specifications, material properties, and relevant industry standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM), rather than expert medical consensus on patient cases. The "experts" involved are likely engineering and materials science professionals who design and conduct the tests according to the FDA guidance.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

This is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 refer to how discrepancies in expert opinions on clinical data are resolved. Since this submission relies on non-clinical bench testing, such an adjudication method is not relevant. The "adjudication" is essentially the adherence to pre-defined test protocols and acceptance criteria based on FDA guidance and engineering standards.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

Not applicable. This device is a knee implant, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool requiring MRMC studies to assess the impact of AI on human reader performance.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:

Not applicable. As above, this is a physical implant, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth used for these non-clinical tests is established by:

  • Engineering Specifications: Designed tolerances, material strengths, and fatigue limits.
  • Industry Standards: ASTM, ISO, and other relevant standards for orthopedic implant testing.
  • FDA Guidance Documents: The specific guidance documents cited (e.g., Class II Special Controls Guidance Document for Knee Joints, Guidance Document for Testing Orthopedic Implants with Modified Metallic Surfaces, Guidance for MR Safety) define the methods and performance expectations for validating the device's properties.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set. The "training" for such a device would be the extensive research and development phases involving finite element analysis, material science studies, and repeated experimental bench testing, but these are not considered "training sets" in the context of AI.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the AI sense for this device.

§ 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.
