The Platinum Depthalon® Depth Electrodes are intended for temporary (<30 day) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring and stimulation of electrical signals in the subsurface of the brain.
Device Story
PMT Platinum Depthalon Depth Electrodes are invasive medical devices designed for temporary intracranial use. The electrodes function as conduits for electrical signals, enabling the recording, monitoring, and stimulation of subsurface brain activity when connected to external neurophysiological equipment. Used in clinical settings by neurosurgeons or neurologists, these devices facilitate the localization of neurological activity, aiding in diagnostic or therapeutic decision-making for patients with conditions requiring intracranial monitoring. The device provides a direct interface between brain tissue and external monitoring systems, allowing healthcare providers to observe electrical patterns and deliver stimulation as part of a clinical procedure. Benefits include precise intracranial signal acquisition for diagnostic evaluation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Depth electrode for intracranial use; temporary implantation (<30 days). Designed for signal recording, monitoring, and stimulation. Compatible with standard neurophysiological recording and stimulation equipment. Class II device (21 CFR 882.1330).
Indications for Use
Indicated for temporary (<30 days) use in patients requiring recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals in the subsurface of the brain via compatible equipment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A depth electrode is an electrode used for temporary stimulation of, or recording electrical signals at, subsurface levels of the brain.

Dear Kim Schmelzer:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of July 14, 2016.
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 comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21
