You could run him through TTM (Tank Transfer Method) then observe for a couple weeks to be sure there isn't anything else that needs addressing.

+1 If he's small enough, you could probably just use a couple of 5 gallon buckets to do the transfers.

The possibility of this occurring is why you do a total of 5 transfers (I consider Day 1 to be the 1st transfer.)

At the tail end of TTM there is no chance of free swimmers being present in the water or trophonts on the fish. The only risk is tomonts (eggs) which are still possibly affixed to the glass/equipment. But you won't encounter a tomont in a drop of water (on the fish) when transferring.
