NOTE: An element of professional judgment is required to determine if a substance is exempt under this paragraph. That judgment should be based on the known medical history, symptoms and individual circumstances of the source, human or animal, and endemic local conditions. Examples of specimens which may be carried under this paragraph include - the blood or urine tests to monitor cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels, hormone levels, or prostate specific antibodies (PSA); - those required to monitor organ function such as heart, liver or kidney function for humans or animals with non-infectious diseases, or for therapeutic drug monitoring; - those conducted for insurance or employment purposes and are intended to determine the presence of drugs or alcohol; - pregnancy test; - biopsies to detect cancer; and - antibody detection in humans or animals." 2.2.62.1.6 and 2.2.62.1.7 Replace current text with: "(Reserved)". 2.2.62.1.8 Amend to read as follows (current text is moved to new 2.2.62.1.12.1): "(Reserved)". 2.2.62.1.11.1 Delete "or containing Category B infectious substances in cultures" in the first sentence and ", other than in cultures," in the last sentence.
