This is the health industry module 43 check digit standard. The check digit is the modulus 43 sum of all the
character values in a given message, and is printed as the last character in a given message.
Example:
Supplier Labeling Data Structure: + A 1 2 3 B J C 5 D 6 E 7 1
Sum of values: 41+10+1+2+3+11+19+12+5+13+6+14+7+1 = 145
Divide 145 by 43. The quotient is 3 with a remainder of 16. The check digit is the character corresponding to the
value of the remainder (see Table 12-2), which in this example is 16, or G. The complete Supplier Labeling Data
Structure, including the check digit, therefore is:
A 1 2 3 B J C 5 D 6 E 7 1 G
