Blood transfusions are an area of extreme risk, where inaccurate identification can lead to potentially fatal errors. Blood bags are routinely bar-coded with their type, but when the bags are issued from the blood bank, it is important that the right blood gets to the right patient. Adding a label with the intended patient's details, including their bar-coded ID, enables additional safety checks to be made automatically before the blood is given. The bar codes on both the patient's wristband and the blood bag are scanned to insure that the correct blood is being given to the correct patient.
As a licensed vendor of the ISBT128 standard, Zebra's Blood Bag 3000 label used in conjunction with Zebra's range of printers provides an approved solution for blood collection facilities. ISBT128 is an international regulation which standardises the criteria and method for identification of blood products. This is a process being used to facilitate the transfer of information between international facilities.
