Anyone knowledgeable about hospital blood transport can discuss the “tube system”? Was this related to the dialysis procedure I believe he was given? I imagine contamination has to be handled for all potential blood-borne diseases, not just Ebola.
I am thinking the “tube system” refers to a vacuum transport tube system (like the drive up teller at the bank or the one for cash at Costco)...take a blood sample, seal the vial, label it, put it in a “carrier” and send to the hospital lab for testing.
