@bens1 Please keep us posted. We have a current discussion asking whether anyone has tried it. Since my RA is "dispersed" and affects more than one part of my body, I will ask my rheumatologist about it at my next appointment.
So far, it appears use will be limited to people who have failed both DMARD and Biologic drug treatments, so I probably won't qualify. But my daughter is on her third biologic, so she might qualify.

As of yesterday, Setpoint Medical has not released the secret list of those hospitals that are about to use it.

I stopped by the rheumatology dept at Mayo Fl 2 days ago and casually spoke to a wandering rheumatologist who said they were just talking about the device but that its use has to go through Mayo Minnesota first.

Here is a link to the Abstract and findings for the randomized trial from the Setpoint Medical web site:
