CPAP (Phillips recall) and Cancer

My husband has been using a Philips CPAP for about 20yrs, it was last replaced about 7yrs ago. I just happened to be looking through my Mayo email and came across this article.
He is going to stop in to his doctors office tomorrow and see what he should do.
He recently had a Thyroid scan done which showed 3 nodules, they said they were to small to need treatment and to check back in a year.
Now I’m wondering if there is any connection to the use of the CPAP.
I’m glad I happened to read the article or we would not have known about it.
Thank you.

I had a Phillips Respironics CPAP on March 2013. On 2015, I had thyroid cancer.
