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 recommen-
dation 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 neighboring
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.
Code 128 Redundancy
If you are encountering errors when reading Code 128 bar codes, you may want to
adjust the redundancy count. Redundancy adjusts the number of times a bar code
is decoded before transmission, which may reduce the number of errors. Note that
the higher the redundancy count, the longer it will take to decode the bar code. To
adjust the redundancy, scan the Code 128 Redundancy bar code below, then scan
a redundancy count between 0 and 10 on the Programming Chart. Then scan the
Save bar code. Default = 0.
Code 128 Message Length
Scan the bar codes below to change the message length. Refer to Message Length
Description (page 92) for additional information. Minimum and Maximum lengths
= 0-80. Minimum Default = 0, Maximum Default = 80.
