Description
Get to know ISBT 128
ISBT 128 sets a global standard for the identification, labeling and information processing of human blood, tissue and organ products across international borders and disparate health care systems. The standard has been designed to ensure the highest levels of accuracy, safety and efficiency for the benefit of donors, patients and official ISBT 128 licensed facilities worldwide.
Featuring a unique, highly flexible and comprehensive coding method for every collected product, ISBT 128 provides international consistency to support the transfer, transfusion or transplantation of blood and tissue products.
A Global Response to A Multinational Need
In a world of multinational disaster relief programs, far flung military operations, and international data stores, the need for an authoritative standard upheld by the professional community is essential. Across borders, governments and health care systems, ISBT 128 ensures that the blood, tissue or cellular therapy products collected from donors in one location may be safely and effectively transfused or transplanted in another. The comprehensive labeling capabilities of ISBT 128 ensure that such critical information as identification number, blood group, product description and expiration date appears in fixed positions, can be read by secure electronic means, and effectively reduces the risk of accidental misuse with products from multiple countries or facilities.
