For HCT/Ps that are regulated as a medical device, the Multiple Device Identifier Checker allows a user to check the validity of a list of ISBT 128 Device Identifiers (DIs) provided in a data file (.txt file). This tool also interprets the Facility Identification Number and Product Description Code elements of each DI.
Intended Audience

The tool may also be of use to software developers and label vendors that provide products for these facilities.
