                          SERVICES (CONTINUED)
 
PART 807--ESTABLISHMENT REGISTRATION AND DEVICE LISTING FOR MANUFACTURERS AND INITIAL IMPORTERS OF DEVICES--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart B--Procedures for Device Establishments
 
Sec. 807.20  Who must register and submit a device list?


    (a) An owner or operator of an establishment not exempt under 
section 510(g) of the act or subpart D of this part who is engaged in 
the manufacture, preparation, propagation, compounding, assembly, or 
processing of a device intended for human use shall register and submit 
listing information for those devices in commercial distribution, except 
that registration and listing information may be submitted by the 
parent, subsidiary, or affiliate company for all the domestic or foreign 
establishments under the control of one of these organizations when 
operations are conducted at more than one establishment and there exists 
joint ownership and control among all the establishments. The term 
``device'' includes all in vitro diagnostic products and in vitro 
diagnostic biological products not subject to licensing under section 
351 of the Public Health Service Act. An owner or operator of an 
establishment located in any State as defined in section 201(a)(1) of 
the act shall register its name, places of business, and all 
establishments and list the devices whether or not the output of the 
establishments or any particular device so listed enters interstate 
commerce. The registration and listing requirements shall pertain to any 
person who:
    (1) Initiates or develops specifications for a device that is to be 
manufactured by a second party for commercial distribution by the person 
initiating specifications;
    (2) Manufactures for commercial distribution a device either for 
itself or for another person. However, a person who only manufactures 
devices according to another person's specifications, for commercial 
distribution by the person initiating specifications, is not required to 
list those devices.
    (3) Repackages or relabels a device;
    (4) Acts as an initial importer; or
    (5) Manufactures components or accessories which are ready to be 
used for any intended health-related purpose and are packaged or labeled 
for commercial distribution for such health-related purpose, e.g., blood 
filters, hemodialysis tubing, or devices which of necessity must be 
further processed by a licensed practitioner or other qualified person 
to meet the needs of a particular patient, e.g., a manufacturer of 
ophthalmic lens blanks.
    (b) No registration or listing fee is required. Registration or 
listing does not constitute an admission or agreement or determination 
that a product is a device within the meaning of section 201(h) of the 
act.
    (c) Registration and listing requirements shall not pertain to any 
person who:
    (1) Manufacturers devices for another party who both initiated the 
specifications and commercially distributes the device;
    (2) Sterilizes devices on a contract basis for other registered 
facilities who commercially distribute the devices.
    (3) Acts as a wholesale distributor, as defined in Sec. 807.3(s), 
and who does not manufacture, repackage, process, or relabel a device.
