Prescription vs. Non-Prescription

Depending on your needs, Nonin offers prescription and non-prescription oximeters:

Prescription Required: GO2 and GO2 LED
(GO2 and GO2 LED are medical devices and federal law restricts these devices to sale by or on the order of a licensed clinician.)

Non-Prescription: GO2 Achieve and GO2 LED Achieve
(GO2 Achieve and GO2 LED Achieve are not medical devices and therefore do not require a prescription from your doctor.)

You need a prescription oximeter if:
You are a patient working with a doctor and need to monitor blood oxygen saturation for a chronic disease such as COPD. Prescription devices are FDA cleared for medical monitoring and required to meet certain criteria such as level of accuracy. Nonin’s GO2 and GO2 LED are prescription devices.
(Note: GO2 and GO2 LED are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any chronic lung or other disease.)

You can use a non-prescription oximeter if:
You are a sports or fitness enthusiast interested in managing your intensity level while exercising or training. Non-prescription oximeters are also great to check for the onset of in-flight hypoxia during air travel. Nonin’s GO2 Achieve and GO2 LED Achieve provide near-instant and accurate biofeedback such as pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation.
(Note: GO2 Achieve and GO2 LED Achieve are not medical devices and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any chronic lung or other disease.)
