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.
