Philips Respironics CPAP mask Recall

October, 2022

On Sept. 7, 2022, Philips initiated a voluntary recall for specific models of CPAP ad BiPAP masks. The recall is to address magnets that connect and hold the mask components in place, which can affect the function of implanted metallic medical devices like brain stents, aneurysm clips, and pacemakers. Visit fda.gov/medical-devices to see the full list of implanted metallic medical devices or metallic objects that may be affected. The recalled mask types include DreamWisp, DreamWear, Amara View, Wisp, and Wisp Youth.

What to do:

• STOP using the recalled mask if you or someone near you has any implanted metallic medical devices or metallic objects in the body. Switch to a non-magnetic mask if available.
• Ensure the recalled mask is kept at least six inches away from metallic medical implants, metallic objects in the body, and medical devices that can be impacted by magnetic fields.
• Contact your durable medical equipment provider immediately if you experience any issues related to your medical device and report the issue through the FDA’s MedWatch Voluntary Reporting Form at fda.gov.
• Contact Philips Respironics’s customer service at 1-800-345-6443 or visit their website at usa.philips.com for more information about nonmagnetic mask options.
• Consult your durable medical equipment provider for a mask replacement. They will contact us if a new order is required. • Properly dispose of the recalled mask after you have an alternative mask.  
• You may continue using the mask if you or someone near you does not have any implanted metallic medical devices or metallic objects in the body.
