What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I recall classification indicates serious potential consequences. The masks contain magnets that pose potential magnetic interference with active medical implants and ferromagnetic objects, which could compromise the function of critical medical devices.
Plain-English summary
ResMed Ltd. is recalling 3,816,138 AirTouch F20 full face masks used with User Guide 638220 (version 2020-02 and prior) due to magnets in the mask that have potential to cause magnetic interference with certain medical implants.
The masks are non-invasive airflow interfaces for patients. They contain magnets that may interfere with active medical implants that interact with magnets and with metallic implants or objects containing ferromagnetic material. This potential magnetic interference poses a risk to patients who use the masks or to anyone in close physical contact with a patient wearing the mask.
The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall. Affected users worldwide include the United States, U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands), and numerous other countries. ResMed is updating contraindications and safety warnings regarding the safe distance between patients using these masks and medical devices or implants.
Patients using an AirTouch F20 mask who have active medical implants or ferromagnetic implants should consult their physician regarding safe use. Healthcare providers should advise patients of the potential risks and review updated safety information.
