Following the recommendations of our suppliers, this warning applies to you or anyone in close physical contact with your mask.
Keep mask magnets at a safe distance of at least 150 mm (6 inches) from implants or medical devices that may be affected by magnetic interference.
Medical implants/devices, including those listed in contraindications, may be adversely affected if they change function under the influence of external magnetic fields or if they contain ferromagnetic materials that attract/repel magnetic fields.
Talk to your doctor and the manufacturer of your implant or other medical devices for information on the potential adverse effects of magnetic fields.
