The purpose of this document is to provide specifications for blood and cellular therapy base labels that carry ISBT 128 Data Structures.  The specifications contained in this document on the standardized placement of linear bar codes on the base label were previously defined in the documents ISBT 128 Standard Labeling of Blood Components (ST-005) and ISBT 128 Standard Labeling of Cellular Therapy Products (ST-004).

The purpose of this document is to provide standards for the coding of the Medical Products of Human Origin (MPHO) Unique Identifier. It provides the rules for the construction of the MPHO Unique Identifier, a single data item providing globally unique instance identification and designed to optimize the electronic capture of critical MPHO traceability information.

The purpose of this document is to provide a dictionary of standard data elements. The document describes the data elements defined within ISBT 128 and identifies the corresponding unique resource identifier for each element. These data elements are for use in electronic messages.

The purpose of this document is to provide:

  • specifications for the structure of the Chain of Identity (CoI) Identifier
  • information on how to obtain and update a Facility Identification Number (FIN)
  • rules on the use of the ISBT 128 CoI Identifier

This document provides information on how ISBT 128 supports traceability through the combined use of a globally unique Donation Identification Number (DIN) and a Product Code on the product label. Additionally, it addresses the MPHO Unique Identifier for use in electronic messaging.

This document provides information regarding the ISBT 128 Donation Identification Number (DIN). In addition, the document provides a brief description on Flag Characters and the Check Character.
