Using an Oxygen Device for Fasting Individuals During Ramadan

Question
Is it permissible for a fasting person to use an oxygen device during the day in Ramadan?
Answer
Fasting is not invalidated; because oxygen is air without mass, but if therapeutic substances with mass are added to oxygen, using it during the day in Ramadan becomes invalidating; because it enters the body through a recognized passage.
