Note, patients are instructed in the patient letter to contact their mask provider for a replacement mask if they are now contraindicated. 3) Provide a replacement mask for contraindicated patients to an alternative mask without magnets in a timely manner. Where an alternative mask is not available, inform patients to consult with their physician. 4) Instruct patients to consult their physician and/or manufacturer of their implant / other medical device if they require additional information on the potential adverse effects of magnetic fields for their particular device (as described in warnings). 5) For alternative mask options, please contact your ResMed or Customer Service representative. 6) Complete and return the customer acknowledgement form via email to magnetresponse@resmed.com For any questions, please contact your local ResMed contact or visit www.resmed.com/contact.
