European Pharmacopeia adopts Oxygen 98 % Monograph

Oxygen (98 per cent) (3098) Monograph has been officially adopted by the European Pharmacopeia during its 176th session, on 20 and 21 June 2023!

This new monograph will enable healthcare facilities to maintain strict control over the quality of on-site produced oxygen with a nominal content of 98.0 per cent (varying between 96 and 100 percent) utilizing a two-stage adsorption process.

NOVAIR is delighted to share this news as the only European manufacturer offering a DS-PSA oxygen generator capable to produce ultra-high purity oxygen on-site. The patented Oxygen Generator Premium Plus SX can produce pure Medical Oxygen up to 99.5% with exceptional stability (+/- 0.2%). Premium Plus SX is certified Medical Device Class IIB.

Oxygen 98 per cent monograph is the outcome of a long series of dedicated Ph. Eur. Expert meetings and many years of examination and discussions.

After the publication in 2010 of the Oxygen (93 per cent) dedicated to oxygen produced by single-stage adsorption process, this new monograph acknowledges the most advanced on-site oxygen supply sources : a step forward for a better access to medical oxygen !

We thank European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM), Council of Europe for enabling this positive addition to the European Pharmacopoeia.
