FDA Advises on Pulse Oximeters and Oxygen Concentrators If you are using a pulse oximeter to monitor your oxygen levels and are concerned about the reading, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises you to contact your health care provider – and not to rely only on a pulse oximeter. Additionally, the FDA also advises people not to use an oxygen concentrator at home unless it has been prescribed by a doctor or other health care provider. You may do harm if you give yourself oxygen without talking to your doctor first. You may take too much or not enough oxygen. Questions? If you have questions about this public meeting/workshop, contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education. |
