Respiratory Care - No license required if dealing with Oxygen. However, medical gases are prescription drugs. Therefore, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issues safe-handling guidelines to hospitals, nursing homes,and other healthcare facilities. All medical gas manufacturers who receive reports of death or serious injury associated with the use of medical gases are required to report those incidents to the FDA.
