AirTouch F20 mask date code? - Labromaniac - 02-03-2024
Looking for the date of manufacturing code for this mask. The labels have easily readable lot numbers, but I can't find any easily readable date of manufacture information. Anybody have the secret decoder ring for this?
RESMED F20 MANUFACTURING DATE - WakeUpTime - 02-04-2024
That's a good question. Just bumping the thread to see if any others might know the answer. I wasn't sure if you were asking about it as it relates to the many "mask with magnets" recalls, or other reasons. We probably should have had a separate thread on the recall of all masks related to the sweeping "mask with magnets" recalls that actually affected many producers (ResMed, Philips, etc.).
I've also had times when I wanted a manufacturing date and not just a lot-code. Sometimes we might want to know if we got some very old stock too. One option might be to send a message to ResMed directly, but it could take a while for a response as it gets re-routed through to the right person within the company. I found these general e-mails...

Thanks for this reply. I was specifically looking for the manufacturing date of my stocks of the mask itself and not the head gear with magnets.

I finally got word back from ResMed and they told me there is no way at all to identify the manufacturing date of one of their masks (cushion). Now that was surprising!

Seeing as neither of us have pace makers, I didn't worry about the recall. When we swap out the webbing, we save the magnetic clips as they are prone to breakage. That way we have a couple of spares. The last time I checked on the mother s hip (Amazon) I want to say they were $10 a pair.
