Intended Use
This device is indicated for: - Moderate to severe knee instability - Significant bone loss and/or ligament deficiencies caused by neoplasms, trauma, theumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, and/or avascular necrosis of the proximal and/or proximal tibia - Valgus, varus or flexion deformities - The salvage of previously failed surgical attempts · A total femoral replacement consisting of Segmental proximal femoral, Segmental System segments and Segmental System distal femoral components may be used without cement. · Variable Stiffness stem extensions require the use of either a smooth or Trabecular Metal stem collar, which must be cemented to the stem. Following cementing to the stem, the smooth collar must be cemented against the bone. The remainder of the stem must be used uncemented. · Fluted stem extensions require the use of either a smooth or Trabecular, which must be cemented to the stem. Following cementing to the stem extension, the smooth collar must be cemented against the bone. The remainder of the stem must also be cemented against the bone. · The Trabecular Metal collar may be used cemented or uncemented against the bone. · All other constructs are for cemented use only.
Device Story
Zimmer Segmental System is a set of orthopedic implants for limb salvage arthroplasty; used to replace bone and joint structures in the femur and tibia. System includes segmental components, stem extensions, and collars. Operates as a passive mechanical prosthesis; implanted by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/OR setting. Provides structural support and joint stability for patients with severe bone loss or deformity. Subject device update adds MR conditional labeling, packaging changes, and design/etching modifications. Benefits include restoration of limb function and stability in complex orthopedic cases.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Safety and effectiveness established via non-clinical bench testing, including MRI compatibility (ASTM F2503-13, F2182-11a, F2119-07, 2052-15, F2213-17), FEA, fatigue strength, packaging (ISO 11607-1), biocompatibility (ISO 10993), and bacterial endotoxin testing (ANSI/AAMI ST 72:2011).
Technological Characteristics
Passive orthopedic implants for limb salvage. Materials identical to predicate. MR conditional per ASTM F2503-13. Testing includes RF-induced heating, image artifact, magnetic displacement, and torque. Packaging validated per ISO 11607-1. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993. Bacterial endotoxin limits ≤20 EU/Device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with moderate to severe knee instability, significant bone loss/ligament deficiencies due to neoplasms, trauma, arthritis (rheumatoid, osteoarthritis, traumatic, polyarthritis), collagen disorders, or avascular necrosis of the femur/tibia, and valgus, varus, or flexion deformities. Also indicated for salvage of failed surgical attempts.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits translation or rotation in one or more planes and has components that are linked together or affined. This generic type of device includes prostheses composed of a ball-and-socket joint located between a stemmed femoral and a stemmed tibial component and a runner and track joint between each pair of femoral and tibial condyles. The ball-and-socket joint is composed of a ball at the head of a column rising from the stemmed tibial component. The ball, the column, the tibial plateau, and the stem for fixation of the tibial component are made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The ball of the tibial component is held within the socket of the femoral component by the femoral component's flat outer surface. The flat outer surface of the tibial component abuts both a reciprocal flat surface within the cavity of the femoral component and flanges on the femoral component designed to prevent distal displacement. The stem of the femoral component is made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, but the socket of the component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The femoral component has metallic runners which align with the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tracks that press-fit into the metallic tibial component. The generic class also includes devices whose upper and lower components are linked with a solid bolt passing through a journal bearing of greater radius, permitting some rotation in the transverse plane, a minimal arc of abduction/adduction. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

Dear Yoriko Kobayashi:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
