All units of these masks are subject to this recall action. If a patient, a household member, caregiver, or bedpartner that is in close vicinity to patients using the mask is equipped with one of the medical devices or metallic splinters indicated in the updated Contraindications and Warning language, patients are to stop use of the affected mask and properly dispose of it once an alternative mask without magnets has been obtained after consultation with their healthcare provider. If the patient or others around them does not possess an implanted device or metal splinters included in the updated contraindications language, no action is needed. Users and those in the vicinity of the patient while using the mask must ensure the mask is kept at least six inches from medical implants and metallic splinters in the eye.
