accessories are intended to support the performance of the VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet Persona parent device. Individual VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet Persona devices are packaged sterile, for single patient use with a shim set for thickness adjustments. The required accessories are not packaged sterile and are reusable.

VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet Persona devices are implant system specific due to variations in implant design and is compatible with the Zimmer Biomet Persona Knee System.

The VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet Persona is an intelligent disposable tibial insert that measures dynamic loads in the medial and lateral compartments of the knee and angular velocity and acceleration for the alignment functionality. The data from the sensor is wirelessly transmitted to the LinkStation MINI or LinkStation MINI Evaluation Kit which runs the VSA and is located outside the sterile field in the operating room. The VSA provides the surgeon with a graphical and numerical presentation of the loads in both the medial and lateral compartments of the knee, center of load (COL) from the femoral to the tibial component in each of the medial and lateral compartments of the knee for reference only, static measurement of the coronal alignment of the tibial resection relative to the patient specific tibial reference axis defined by the system registered anatomical landmarks, and numerical value of the varus/valgus tibial mechanical alignment.

| Ligament<br>Balancing | It has 3 load transducers per compartment<br>that are used to calculate a composite joint<br>load per compartment. Load transfer are<br>derived from the measured loads. | K172462<br>Ligament balancing is achieved by<br>measuring the angle and gap distances<br>between the femur and proximal tibia<br>and establishing a reference line to assist<br>in setting the rotation of the femoral<br>implant in primary or revision<br>procedures. | |
| Alignment<br>Function | The varus/valgus angle of the resected tibia in<br>the coronal plane is calculated using the<br>established tibia reference frame and the<br>patient tibial length measured by the surgeon<br>and entered into the software application. The<br>tibial mechanical alignment range is<br>varus/valgus $\pm$ 7° with an accuracy of $\pm$ 3°.<br>The VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet Persona<br>includes an accelerometer and gyroscope that<br>make up the inertial measurement unit (IMU).<br>The IMU is calibrated to removed fixed biases,<br>scale errors, and misalignment errors in both<br>the accelerometer, and gyroscope. The<br>accelerometer provides the linear<br>acceleration, while gyroscope provides the<br>angular velocity, which are used to determine<br>the frame of reference for the IMU. The<br>VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet Persona<br>registers the first anatomical landmark, the<br>center of the tibia, based on the placement of<br>the VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet device in<br>the tibial tray implant. The IMU within the<br>VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet Persona is<br>centered with respect to the implant tibial<br>tray, with a specific offset value for each size<br>and side of the device. The second anatomical<br>landmark, the lateral center of the heel's<br>calcaneus, is registered when the surgeon<br>takes the leg through a pivot motion with the<br>heel stabilized, while the hip and the pelvis<br>are stable through the patient position. | The mechanical alignment is defined as<br>the axis from the center of the femoral<br>head to the intercondylar notch. This axis<br>extends further down from the center of<br>the proximal tibia to the center of the<br>ankle.<br>The main observed difference is the<br>algorithm used by the software and the<br>mechanical measurements based on the<br>sensor versus the femoral and tibial jigs<br>used by OrthAlign. The OrthAlign also can<br>be used for hip and knee arthroplasty,<br>while VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet<br>Persona is only used for knee<br>arthroplasty. | |

The technological characteristics are the same with the exception of alignment and ligament balancing calculation methods.

#### VIII. PERFORMANCE DATA

In order to review the different characteristics and support of the substantial equivalence determination the following performance verification studies were performed:

### Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices."

The software accessory for this device was considered as a "minor" level of concern, since the VERASENSE Software Application reports real time the amount of applied force, COL location (for reference only), and tibial varus/valgus angle from the VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet Persona. The VERASENSE Software Application does not directly drive a decision regarding treatment or therapy.

### Performance Testing Bench

In order to test the Alignment function calculation (technological difference and new design change), the following studies were performed:

## Performance Testing Clinical

This submission does not include any clinical testing. We determined that no such testing was required to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

### Performance Testing Animal

This submission does not include any animal performance testing. We determined that no such testing was required to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

#### IX. CONCLUSIONS

Performance studies demonstrated the product meets established acceptance criteria. Failure mode and effects analysis also demonstrated that all risks related to the different characteristics have been reduced as far as possible. The different technological characteristics do not raise different questions in regard to safety and effectiveness of the product. Thus, the modifications are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
