  • Causa
    The purpose of this letter is to notify you that labeling is being updated to clarify that the specify™ 5-6-5 and 2x8 surgical leads are not intended for interoperative trial evaluation use (i.E., trialing/screening outside of the operating room with an external neurostimulator). some of the current specify™ 5-6-5 and 2x8 surgical lead product labeling does not distinguish between intraoperative stimulation testing with a permanent surgical lead and interoperative trial evaluation use.
