Absolutely Art, It was obvious that BIEL had some kind of advisement that the 'Back Clearance' would be expedited when China posted the now famous "Dog Bone" K-Tape picture. He had visited the BIEL office and AW had given him a sample.
The post is dated 6/14/2018 and the New K-Tape product clearly states "Back, Knee and Muscle & Joint".
AW has indicated in interviews that the K-Tape, providing one SKU for all applications, is the future for ActiPatch. This packaging is useless in the US until BIEL receives the Back Clearance.
