ResMed is recalling AirFit N20 Nasal Masks that could interfere with medical implants due to magnets. This risk is serious for patients with certain implants, as the mask may cause harm if used too close to medical devices.
The mask contains magnets that may interact with active medical implants or metallic implants containing ferromagnetic material. This interaction could cause harm if the mask is used too close to these devices, potentially triggering contraindications or warnings about safe distances.
Patients using the AirFit N20 Nasal Mask with medical implants or metallic objects containing ferromagnetic material are most at risk. Anyone in close physical contact with the mask while using it could also be affected.
Check for the AirFit N20 Nasal Mask with User Guide version 2020-02 (lot 638218) or version 2020-06 (lot 638243), or earlier versions. The product has specific UDI-DI/GTIN numbers listed in the recall notice.
If you have a medical implant that interacts with magnets, stop using the mask immediately and consult your doctor.
Ensure your User Guide version is not 2020-02 (lot 638218) or 2020-06 (lot 638243) or earlier versions.
Reach out to ResMed directly for specific guidance on your product model and whether a remedy is needed.
The recall does not require stopping use for people without medical implants, but they should check if their mask has the affected versions.
Affected User Guides are version 2020-02 (lot 638218) and version 2020-06 (lot 638243), or earlier versions.
Check the User Guide version and lot numbers listed in the recall notice, which include specific UDI-DI/GTIN numbers.
