The Information Standard for Blood and Transplant (ISBT) 128 is a global standard for the identification, labelling and information transfer of medical products of human origin.
The National Blood Authority (NBA) has directed the Blood Service to move to this standard in order to meet international benchmarking standards for product identification.
Work on the implementation of the ISBT 128 labelling standard is now underway, and it is expected that customers will begin to see the new ISBT ‘Transition Label’ on blood products by June 2018.
The standard has been designed to ensure the highest levels of accuracy, safety, and efficiency for the benefit of donors, patients and health providers.
