Intended Use
The DIXI Medical Microdeep® Micro-Macro Depth Electrodes are intended for temporary (<30 days) use with recording, monitoring and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain. The recording of electrical activity supports definition of epileptogenic foci and brain mapping.
Device Story
Invasive depth electrode for temporary (<30 days) intracranial use; records, monitors, and stimulates brain electrical signals. Input: neural electrical signals; Output: electrical signals transmitted to external recording/monitoring equipment. Used in intraoperative and neurological monitoring settings by physicians trained in intracranial neurophysiology. Device features macro-contacts on the exterior and micro-contacts flush at the surface; includes a microdrive for micro-contact adjustment. Output facilitates identification of epileptogenic foci and brain mapping, aiding clinical decision-making for epilepsy treatment. Benefits include precise subsurface neural signal acquisition.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included dimensional verification, mechanical functionality (microdrive, water tightness, tensile strength), electrical characteristics (continuity, resistance, stimulation integrity), and biocompatibility per ISO 10993. Comparative testing against the predicate confirmed equivalent tensile strength and mechanical functionality after simulated use.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use, sterile, ethylene oxide-sterilized depth electrode. Macro-contacts: Platinum/Iridium 90/10; Micro-contacts: Tungsten. Anchor bolt: Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V (ASTM F136). One-piece design with microdrive. Dimensions: 0.8 mm macro-contact diameter, 20-micron micro-contact diameter. Connectivity: connects to external recording/stimulation equipment via connection system. No software/algorithm.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring temporary (<30 days) intracranial recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals to define epileptogenic foci and perform brain mapping. Used by physicians trained in intracranial neurophysiology.
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 Steven Plymale:
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.
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 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for
