The Advantages of ISBT 128-Compliant Labelling

Our Barcode & Labelling Systems Offer A High Level Of Accuracy

When it comes to cellular therapy, breast milk tracking, blood bank management, stem cell collection and storage and any other application related to medical products of human origin (MPHOs), there is an exceptionally high level of care and diligence required on the part of organisations, including medical research facilities and hospitals. One part of this high level of care is product labelling for MPHOs. There are so many different healthcare bodies and systems, both nationally and internationally, that information can very easily be lost in translation when it comes to the sharing of products and information about MPHOs.

An MPHO product label contains specific technical information about the contents, volume, additives, and other key information about the product. It also contains information that identifies both the donor and the recipient. With language differences, varying international label requirements and identifiers often in different languages, errors are likely to occur. This is why ISBT 128 labelling is so important, as it acts as a universal standard for healthcare professionals and research providers working with MPHOs across the world.

Why ISBT 128 is The Global Standard for Medical Products of Human Origin?

Our Systems Comply With The International Standard For Blood And Transplants

ISBT stands for International Standard for Blood and Transplant, while 128 refers to the 128 character codes that this system uses, and is known as the global standard when it comes to identifying, coding, labelling and standardising terminology around the movement, collection and storage of medical products of human origin (MPHOs). It is used as the standard by more than 87 countries internationally, and within hundreds of different healthcare systems in these countries. The standard has been developed over many years to ensure accuracy, ease of use for medical and research professionals, and, of course, patient safety. Blood, cells, tissues, and organs can be easily moved, tracked and transfused/transplanted across different healthcare systems and regions using ISBT 128 because of its international consistency.

As the medical community becomes increasingly connected and integrated, particularly on an international scale, having a standard, commonly recognised system for categorising MPHOs (including products like blood, stem cells, tissue samples and donations, breast milk, and organs) has never been so important.

As well as the key identifying information, ISBT 128 codes also allow organisations to share a range of additional data about each and every product that is labelled in this way, including:

Collection/procurement dates
Expiry dates
Manufacture dates
Time of death for tissues
ABO/RhD and non-ABO/RhD RBC antigens
Infectious marker results
Platelet antigens
Product consignment information
A range of other important detail about the products

At Savant, we have been working with MPHOs of all kinds for over 20 years, and have seen the development of ISBT 128 labelling and barcodes in this time. We are highly experienced and knowledgeable about the ISBT 128 labelling system, how this translates into the creation of modern, functional barcodes for products, and all of the additional factors that go into helping to ensure the safety and security of MPHOs at any stage of their lifecycle.

Why is Barcoding Important?

Our Labelling Systems Are Comprehensive & Clear

When communicating critical information, a standardised system becomes even more important as both potential applications and global suppliers expand with new developments in the medical and scientific fields. For MPHO applications, including cellular therapy components, tissue and eye components, breast milk products, and blood transfusions, the label information is crucial. It is possible to significantly decrease the risk of error when both transcribing and reading this information using electronic data confirmation, such as ISBT 128 barcoding.

The risks of incorrect collection, storage, transportation and administration of these products can be disastrous, which is why it is so important to have clear, comprehensive and universal labelling systems in place.
