-TEXT-
The following classes of persons are exempt from registration in
accordance with Sec. 807.20 under the provisions of section 510(g)
(1), (2), and (3) of the act, or because the Commissioner has
found, under section 510(g)(4) of the act, that such registration
is not necessary for the protection of the public health:
(a) A manufacturer of raw materials or components to be used in
the manufacture or assembly of a device who would otherwise not be
required to register under the provisions of this part.
(b) A manufacturer of devices to be used solely for veterinary
purposes.
(c) A manufacturer of general purpose articles such as chemical
reagents or laboratory equipment whose uses are generally known by
persons trained in their use and which are not labeled or promoted
for medical uses.

optometrists, who manufacture or otherwise alter devices solely for
use in their practice.
(e) Pharmacies, surgical supply outlets, or other similar retail
establishments dispensing or selling devices in the regular course
of business at the retail level. This exemption also applies to a
pharmacy or other similar retail establishment that purchases a
device for subsequent distribution under its own name, e.g., a
properly labeled health aid such as an elastic bandage or crutch,
indicating 'distributed by' or 'manufactured for' followed by the
name of the pharmacy.
(f) Persons who manufacture, prepare, propagate, compound, or
process devices solely for use in research, teaching, or analysis
and do not introduce such devices into commercial distribution.
(g) Persons who handle devices but make no revisions to such
devices or their immediate containers, such as wholesalers or
warehousers.
(h) Carriers by reason of their receipt, carriage, holding or
delivery of devices in the usual course of business as carriers.
(i) Persons who dispense devices to the ultimate consumer or
whose major responsibility is to render a service necessary to
provide the consumer (i.e., patient, physician, layman, etc.) with
a device or the benefits to be derived from the use of a device;
for example, a hearing aid dispenser, optician, clinical
laboratory, assembler of diagnostic X-ray systems, and personnel
from a hospital, clinic, dental laboratory, orthotic or prosthetic
retail facility, whose primary responsibility to the ultimate
consumer is to dispense or provide a service through the use of a
previously manufactured device.
