These masks have varying coverage of a patient\u2019s face. Recently, the company gave consumers updated instructions for using the masks and held a voluntary global field action to update its guide for these masks. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/safety\/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts\/resmed-notifies-customers-about-updated-instructions-and-labeling-masks-magnets-due-potentia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">notification warned<\/a> consumers of a potential magnetic interference when magnets in the ResMed masks are close to certain implants and medical devices in a patient\u2019s body. The ResMed masks that contain magnets are considered safe when used in line with the updated instructions for use and the field safety notice. If you were harmed by a ResMed mask with a magnet, or another medical mask containing a magnet, you should consult the experienced Chicago-based product liability attorneys of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we\u2019ve been involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call Moll Law Group About Your Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Masks with magnets that were listed in the notice from the manufacturer include AirFit N10, AirFit F20, AirTouch F20, AirFit N20, AirTouch N20, AirFit F30, AirFit F30i. You can locate your mask\u2019s model number on its frame or cushion. Affected masks include full face masks, non-vented masks, and nasal masks used to provide positive airway pressure therapy; they have magnets that make it easier for users to adjust the masks\u2019 fit. The notice to consumers was issued because the masks not only potentially interrupt the function of some medical implants, but because they can also move the implant, whether a stent or a cranial plate or another device, within the patients\u2019 bodies, causing serious injuries and necessitating additional, likely expensive medical care.<\/p>\n<p>The affected ResMed masks were sold around the country and the world from 2014 to November 2023. The company has submitted to authorities five reports they received in which there was either medical intervention or hospitalization necessary that may have been related to magnetic interference of a mask with an implanted device. So far, users have not reported deaths or serious, permanent injuries.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/resmed-notified-consumers-about-potential-danger-of-masks-with-magnets\/#more-3280\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manufacturer ResMed makes CPAP masks that contain magnets.
