The best source is iccbba.org. It provides many tools to assist in ISBT 128.

HI:): If you have interest in on-demand printing for all compliant ISBT128 bar code labels for Cellular Therapy you may wish to look at HemaTrax-CT at our web site (www.digi-trax.com) We are a registered vendor for the ICCBBA and members of AABB.

There are several sources for this information on the ICCBBA website. You may want to start with a document called Standard Terminology for Blood, Cellular Therapy and Tissue Product Description Codes (http://www.iccbba.org/standardterminology.pdf) This describes the terminology used in ISBT 128 codes. Chapter 3 is for Cellular Therapy and Chapter 4 is for tissues.

In the database, all cellular therapy (stem cell) codes begin with the letter S; all tissue codes begin with the letter T. (Blood codes, as you probably know, begin with E).

To understand the databases and labeling issues, there are two documents that would be helpful. One is Product Code Structure and Labeling - Cellular Therapy and the other is Product Code Structure and Labeling - Tissues.

If you are in the US, you will want to look at the US Consensus Standard for the Uniform Labeling of Cellular Therapy Products using ISBT 128 (http://www.iccbba.org/usconsensusstandard_cellulartherapy.pdf )

Feel free to call or email the ICCBBA office with any questions you may have. Check our website for specific contact information (or email me through Blood Bank Talk private message).
