ISBT 128 Concatenation
In 1994 the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) ratified a standard
for communicating critical blood information in a uniform manner. The use of
ISBT formats requires a paid license. The ISBT 128 Application Specification
describes 1) the critical data elements for labeling blood products, 2) the current
recommendation to use Code 128 due to its high degree of security and its
space-efficient design, 3) a variation of Code 128 that supports concatenation of
neighboring symbols, and 4) the standard layout for bar codes on a blood product
label. Use the bar codes below to turn concatenation on or off.
Default =Off.
