Summary
ISBT 128 provides for unique identification of any donation worldwide and provides a comprehensive and highly flexible system for describing products and assigning Product Description Codes (PDCs). The PDCs assigned to blood products will begin with E (e.g., E1234, EA123). The classes, modifiers, and attributes used for coding blood products can be found in chapter 2 of the ST-002 ISBT 128 Standard Terminology for Medical Products of Human Origin document.
