Yeah, that was my concern before I started doing the process it but |
| 18 |
it's a very interesting engineering solution to building a closed |
| 19 |
system where everything is put in brand new for each donation. It's |
| 20 |
this huge package of plastic tubes and hoses which are sealed until |
| 21 |
moments before the blood draw so I'm not overly worried, but it's |
| 22 |
really easy to understand why others would be, and for those folks |
| 23 |
they should just do whole blood donations which only take blood out |
| 24 |
and nothing returns. With those it's only a matter of a clean needle. |
