    THE MANUFACTURER RECEIVED INFORMATION ALLEGING AN END USER'S PACEMAKER FAILED AND THE PATIENT EXPIRED WHILE USING THE WISP MASK WITH MAGNETIC CONNECTIONS. THE ACTUAL DATE OF DEATH IS UNKNOWN. THE USER ALLEGEDLY HAD THE PACEMAKER FOR 2 MONTHS WHEN HE STARTED HAVING DIFFICULTY BREATHING, HYPOXEMIA, AND ATRIAL FIBRILLATION. THE USER'S SPOUSE STATED HE WAS AWAKE AND SITTING ON THE COUCH WHEN THE PACEMAKER FAILED AND WAS NOT WEARING THE MASK AT THE TIME. THE SPOUSE STATED SHE BELIEVES THE MAGNETS WERE LESS THAN 2 INCHES FROM THE PACEMAKER WHEN THE MASK WAS WORN BECAUSE HER HUSBAND WOULD SLEEP WITH HIS HEAD AND CHIN DOWN ON HIS SHOULDER AND SHE THINKS THE MAGNETS WERE DOWN ON HIS SHOULDER. NO PRODUCT WILL BE RETURNED FOR INVESTIGATION. THE MANUFACTURER WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR COMPLAINTS FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THE MANUFACTURER CONCLUDES NO FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED AT THIS TIME.
