The pulse oximeters measure oxygen levels in a person's body if they have an illness such as COVD.
Western NSW Local Health District is calling on people to return the oximeters when they are released from isolation.
People who are ready to return a used pulse oximeter should place it in a sealed plastic bag and include their name and address.
The kit should then be returned to hospital reception so it can be deep cleaned and made available for further use by other people with COVID.
The COVID-19 Care in the Community team will be in contact to retrieve equipment, but say any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
