Important Customer Notice Status New Type Product Update
Ref: 2026/3224

Change:
- The supplier Medline Industries Ltd has informed us of a product update with its Medium and High Concentration Oxygen Facemask products.
- The product update is due to a change in the supplier’s tubing configuration, moving from pre‑attached to non-pre-attached tubing.
- Following the transition to MDR certification (Medical Device Regulation) conducted between March 2024 and April 2025, and despite no changes to the product specifications, the supplier is now providing non-pre‑attached tubing for all medium and high concentration oxygen facemasks.

- This affects nine active codes in our catalogue with tubing non-pre-attached:
- FAG6859 – Medium Concentration Oxygen Facemask Adult
