## Intended Use

The Persona 14 x+30mm Stem Extension provides supplemental support and shields the fixation interfaces from excessive stress by resisting bending and torsional moments. The subject device is intended to be used with cement knee constructs. 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. This device is intended to be used with cemented knee constructs.

## Device Story

Tapered stem extension for total knee arthroplasty (TKA); provides supplemental tibial baseplate support; shields fixation interfaces from stress by resisting bending and torsional moments. Implanted into intramedullary canal; used with cemented knee constructs. Device addresses severe knee pain/disability; aids in salvage of failed surgeries or cases requiring improved flexion stability. Surgeon-operated during orthopedic procedure.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Bench testing only, including fatigue testing of the tibia keel and stem extension taper junction, static axial and torsional strength testing, and assessment of cortex perforation risk.

## Technological Characteristics

Tapered stem extension for modular tibial baseplate. Metallic construction. Mechanically locked modular component. Designed for cemented fixation. Evaluated per FDA guidance for nonarticulating, mechanically locked modular implants and orthopedic implants with modified metallic surfaces.

## Regulatory Identification

A knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented 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 includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components and a retropatellar resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

Dear Ms. Shand:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must
