As an assessment center, our medical center has dedicated lab equipment for an Ebola PUI: offer Malaria test, CBC, CMP. Isn’t routine testing with specimens from an Ebola patient going to contaminate routine lab equipments?

Testing on certain larger analyzers is possible, however it would be dependent on your facilities risk assessment. Looking at the workflow, any areas that may be aerosol generating, and the ability to decontaminate after a patient sample should all be taken in to consideration.
