Intended Use
Signature™ Personalized Patient Care System is intended to be used as a surgical instrument to assist in the positioning of total and partial knee replacement components intra-operatively and in guiding the marking of bone before cutting and to guide cutting, provided that anatomic landmarks necessary for alignment and positioning of the implant are identifiable on patient imaging scans. The Signature Personalized Patient Care System can be used with the following Biomet® Knee Systems and their respective components: Vanguard™ Complete Knee System, Vanguard™ M Unicompartmental Knee System, Vanguard™ SSK 360, Vanguard™ SSK Revision Knee System, Regenerex™ Primary Tibial System, Offset & Microplasty Tibial Systems, Maxim™ Complete Knee System, Ascent™ Total Knee System, and AGC™ Complete Knee system. The Signature™ guides are intended for single use only.
Device Story
Signature™ Personalized Patient Care System comprises Signature™ Planner software and patient-specific Signature™ guides. System inputs are patient MRI imaging data. Surgeon uses Signature™ Planner to inspect, fine-tune, and approve a pre-surgical plan. Based on this plan, patient-specific guides are manufactured to transfer pre-operatively determined cut planes to the patient intra-operatively. Guides assist surgeon in positioning/aligning knee replacement components by marking drill/cut locations. Used in clinical settings by surgeons. Output is physical guide templates for single-use. Benefits include improved surgical accuracy and alignment for total/partial knee replacement procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only, including cadaveric trials to verify system accuracy and guide deformation testing post-sterilization.
Technological Characteristics
System consists of software (Signature™ Planner) and patient-specific hardware (Signature™ guides). Guides are single-use. Software facilitates pre-surgical planning based on MRI data. No specific materials or energy sources described beyond standard surgical instrument classification.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing total or partial knee replacement surgery where anatomic landmarks for implant alignment are identifiable on patient MRI scans. Contraindicated if necessary anatomic landmarks are not identifiable.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of 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 consist of a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

#### Device Information
#### Description of the device
The Signature™ Personalized Patient Care System consists of a software component, Signature™ Planner and a hardware component, Signature™ guides and is designed to assist the surgeon in the placement of Biomet total and partial knee replacement components.
#### Functioning of the device
The Signature™ Personalized Patient Care System generates a pre-surgical plan based on MRI imaging data using the Signature™ Planner (software component). The software is then used pre-operatively by a qualified surgeon to inspect, fine-tune and approve the presurgical plan. Next, Signature™ guides are designed and manufactured based on the approved pre-surgical plan. Signature™ guides are patient specific templates that transfer the pre-operatively determined cut planes for positioning of the total and partial knee replacement components to the patient intra-operatively, assisting the surgeon in positioning and aligning the actual total and partial knee replacement components by guiding and marking drill and/or cut locations.
#### Intended use
Signature™ Personalized Patient Care System is intended to be used as a surgical instrument to assist in the positioning of total and partial knee replacement components intra-operatively and in guiding the marking of bone before cutting and to guide cutting, provided that anatomic landmarks necessary for alignment and positioning of the implant are identifiable on patient imaging scans.
The Signature Personalized Patient Care System can be used with the following Biomet® Knee Systems and their respective components: Vanguard™ Complete Knee System, Vanguard™ M Unicompartmental Knee System, Vanguard™ SSK 360, Vanguard™ SSK Revision Knee System, Regenerex™ Primary Tibial System, Offset & Microplasty Tibial Systems, Maxim™ Complete Knee System, Ascent™ Total Knee System, and AGC™ Complete Knee system.
The Signature™ guides are intended for single use only.
#### Summary of technological characteristics
Device comparison showed that the proposed device is substantially equivalent in intended use, materials and performance characteristics to the predicate devices.
#### Performance data
#### Non-clinical tests
The Signature"" Planner software has been validated for its intended use to determine substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
Accuracy performance testing by means of cadaveric trials, and guide deformation verification after sterilization was performed to determine substantial equivalence. Testing
