FDA says ResMed is conducting a voluntary field action to update its guides for all masks with magnets to inform users about potential magnetic interference when magnets are near certain implants and medical devices in the body. An agency [announcement](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/resmed-notifies-customers-about-updated-instructions-and-labeling-masks-magnets-due-potential?ref=fdaweb.com) says the company’s masks are safe when used following the updated instructions for use.

The notice says a patient is contraindicated when they, or anyone in close physical contact while using the mask, have:

- active medical implants that interact with magnets; or
- metallic implants/objects containing ferromagnetic material.

“Patients using the masks with magnets or anyone in close physical contact with mask magnets should keep the magnets at a safe distance of six inches away from implants or medical devices that may be adversely impacted by magnetic interference,” the announcement says.
