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 barcodes on a blood product label. Use the
barcodes below to turn concatenation on or off.

Default =Off.
