  17. Division 6.2 Infectious Substances Exempt: Minimal likelihood that pathogens are present Blood or urine tests to monitor cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels, hormone levels, tests required to monitor organ function such as heart, liver or kidney function for humans or animals with non-infectious diseases, or therapeutic drug monitoring; tests conducted for insurance or employment purposes and are intended to determine the presence of drugs or alcohol; pregnancy tests; biopsies to detect cancer and antibody detection in humans or animals.
