Let us not disregard the intelligence value the NSA or another other government entity gathers by doing a low resolution DNA sequencing all of the blood that goes through these machines for future reference. This covert use wouldn't be outside the bounds of proper skepticism with the involvement of ex-DoD members on the board.

Without proper auditing and disclosure of development processes and the new implementation of the diagnostic tests on chips (rather than disposable test media) it raises the question of how can anyone be sure exactly what and what not the machines are testing and recording? Slot machines in Las Vegas have their code more closely audited and monitored than this technology.

This situation just yells out for government regulation, peer review and reverse engineering.
