Default M-6 in the U.S.

Someone may have more current info., but last I heard, about a year ago, Spinal Kenetics had decided not to seek FDA approval for use of the M-6 in the U.S. due to the cost and length of the approval process. Since they already have a strong oversees market they were just going to stay with marketing its use outside the U.S.?
