Philips Respironics has recalled more than 17 million masks used with bilevel positive airway pressure and continuous positive airway pressure machines because they contain magnets that could affect a wide range of implanted metallic medical devices, resulting in injury or death, the FDA recently announced。The Philips positive airway devices are also known as bilevel PAP, BiPAP, BPAP, or CPAP machines and are used by people with obstructive sleep apnea, respiratory insufficiency, or respiratory failure。 The masks used with them feature magnetic headgear clips to keep them in place。 The recall involves 5 mask types: the DreamWisp, DreamWear, Amara View, Wisp, and Wisp Youth masks。
