Product Update Medline Industries Ltd Medium and High Concentration Oxygen Facemasks (ICN 3224)

• This ICN is now closed.

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 product range is now marked with an “S” suffix on their product code (MPC).
• This affects nine active codes in our catalogue with tubing non-pre-attached:
  • FAG6859 – Medium Concentration Oxygen Facemask Adult
  • FAG6863 – Medium Concentration Oxygen Facemask Adult
  • FAG85298 – High Concentration Oxygen Facemask Adult
