Join us for this interactive, hands-on workshop designed to bring the ISBT 128 Standard to life. Whether you're new to the standard or looking to strengthen your knowledge, this engaging session will help you better understand how the ISBT 128 Standard supports the traceability and safety of medical products of human origin (MPHO).
Participants will take part in mini-lectures, collaborative learning activities, scenario-based discussions, and an open Q&A with ICCBBA experts. You’ll walk away with practical skills you can apply immediately, like how to label blood and cellular therapy products, use barcodes and unique identifiers, and encode red cell antigens accurately.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the key components of the ISBT 128 standard and its application in labeling blood and cellular therapy products.
Create compliant ISBT 128 Standard labels for MPHO.
Explain the role and structure of 2-D data matrix barcodes.
Demonstrate how 2-D symbols improve data accuracy and scanning.
Recognize the impact of the ISBT 128 Standard on global traceability and patient safety.
