ResMed mask with magnets updated contraindications and recall information January 2025
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
The updated warnings and recall for the ResMed masks with magnets only apply if you or anyone close to you (like a bed partner) has certain medical implants or devices.
There is no action required if the above contraindication does not affect you. You may continue to use the mask with magnets for your bilevel therapy. If this updated contraindication affects you and you have already received an alternate mask, we ask that you now transition to the replacement mask. Please contact PROP if you require further assistance. If you have not received an alternate mask, please contact PROP to arrange for a replacement. If you are unclear about any implants/medical devices that may be adversely affected by your ResMed mask with magnets, consult with your manufacturer and physician before continuing to use the ResMed mask with magnets. For more information/details about the recall go to www.resmed.com/magnetupdate
