Oxygen 93 USPOxygen complying with Oxygen 93 USP Monograph


A separate definition is needed as there are two different USP Monographs. Oxygen, USP has an assay specification of “not less than 99.0% Oxygen” where Oxygen 93%, USP has an assay specification of “93% ± 3% Oxygen. Although they are both contained in the USP they are not the same but are two distinctly different drugs with different “strengths” and must be separate.

Oxygen complying with oxygen USP or oxygen 93 USP monograph .


First Revision 107 as currently written and noted in 99:3.3.129 will result in the gas being mislabeled as a drug and that there are two different monographs that are not interchangeable. Oxygen, USP has an assay specification of “not less than 99.0% Oxygen” where Oxygen 93%, USP has an assay specification of “93% ± 3% Oxygen. Although they are both contained in the USP they are not the same but are two distinctly different drugs with different “strengths” and must be separate.

Categories Hazard categories shall be determined classified by the health care facility's governing body by following and documenting adefined risk assessment procedure. Hazard categories shall be submitted to the authority having jurisdiction for review and approval based onthe basis of the character of the process and operations conducted in the healthcare facility.

Annex note: Classification of hazards require a collaborative effort between the health care facility's governing body and the AHJ.


We outline intent and give direction concurrently in this text. The Facility always has the responsibility and the AHJ always has the oversight. While we cannot 'make' the two parties collaborate to the right end, we can certainly set them up for a successful risk assessment submittal and the two parties better understanding of the Facility's operations.
