3.3.9.1 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 neigh-boring 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.
