Safety notice for Philips magnetic masks

We have received a safety notice from Philips regarding masks with magnetic closures used in the treatment of sleep apnoea. The magnets may potentially interact with metal objects or medical devices in the body.

If you or someone in close proximity (e.g. family members or primary caregivers) has a metal implant or another metal object in the body, it is advisable to stop using your mask and to have it replaced as soon as possible with a non-magnetic type.
