Urdu“We’re excited to now offer Persona IQ to our patients considering knee replacement surgery.
Offering the latest innovations and technology available in orthopedics supports our goal to provide optimal outcomes for our patients. Persona IQ will allow surgeons access to objective movement data directly from the implant post-surgery and use that data to track their patients’ recovery remotely” said Dr. James C. Wittig, Chairman of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Morristown Medical Center and Medical Director of Orthopedic Surgery, Orthopedic Oncology and Sarcoma Surgery at Atlantic Health System.
Persona IQ features implantable sensor technology that records and wirelessly transmits a wide range of gait data from the knee implant to a patient’s personal base station at home. The data is then securely delivered to a HIPAA compliant cloud-based platform and can be accessed by the patient and their surgeon. Persona IQ will work together with mymobility®, a remote care management platform that tracks pre- and post-operative mobility metrics.
Dr. John M. Dundon was the first orthopedic surgeon in New Jersey to perform the smart knee implant and among the first in the world. Dr. Dundon said, “Early results and responses from my patients have been incredibly positive. Patients are extremely receptive to the increased connectivity it provides between their recovery and the patient care team. The increased engagement between the patient and physician has helped to provide meaningful information to reduce the anxiety of patient compliance and progress in between in person visits.”

Indications
The Canary Tibial Extension (CTE) with Canary Health Implanted Reporting Processor (CHIRP) System is intended to provide objective kinematic data from the implanted medical device during a patient’s total knee arthroplasty (TKA) post-surgical care. The kinematic data are an adjunct to other physiological parameter measurement tools applied or utilized by the physician during the course of patient monitoring and treatment post-surgery.
The device is indicated for use in patients undergoing a cemented TKA procedure that are normally indicated for at least a 58 mm sized tibial stem extension.
The objective kinematic data generated by the CTE with CHIRP System are not intended to support clinical decision-making and have not been shown to provide any clinical benefit.
The CTE with CHIRP System is compatible with Zimmer Persona® Personalized Knee System.

Results are not necessarily typical and will vary due to health, weight, activity and other human variables. Not all patients are candidates for this product and/or procedure. Only a medical professional can determine the treatment appropriate for your specific condition. Talk to your surgeon about whether knee replacement is right for you and the risks of the procedure, including the risk of implant wear, infection, loosening, breakage or failure, any of which could require additional surgery. Patients must have a compatible smartphone to utilize mymobility. Not all patients are candidates for mymobility and patients should be evaluated by surgeons as appropriate candidates for therapy at home.
