Bouché / débouché
Your blood sample put into a tube, covered with a tape, is in a "sealed" status. When you remove your tape, you unsealed it. In French, you've got the possibility to use both "Bouché" or "Fermé hermétiquement" for the word sealed and "Débouché" for the other word unsealed.

: Débouché c'est quand on parle de bouchons , or dans le texte il s'agit de "tape"
