How the ISBT 128 Chain of Identity Identifier Improves Patient Safety

Understanding the ISBT 128 Chain of Identity (CoI) Identifier and Its Impact 



In the evolving world of patient-specific therapies, the ISBT 128 Chain of Identity (CoI) Identifier stands as a crucial tool for safeguarding the journey of human-derived biological material, from donation through to administration. Unlike other identifiers, the ISBT 128 CoI Identifier provides a globally unique and structured system that ensures traceability and security throughout the entire lifecycle of these materials. By maintaining an unbroken chain of custody, this identifier enhances patient safety, helping to mitigate risks and ensure accurate treatment. With ICCBBA at the forefront of this initiative, discover how the ISBT 128 CoI Identifier is making a difference in the field. 


What is the ISBT 128 Chain of Identity (CoI) Identifier?

The ISBT 128 Chain of Identity Identifier can connect multiple collections from donation through manufacturing to administration for patient-specific therapy.


How is the ISBT 128 CoI Identifier different from other CoI identifiers?

The ISBT 128 CoI Identifier varies from other CoI identifiers because it is a globally unique identifier. The ISBT 128 CoI Identifier follows a structured sequence of alphanumeric characters including a Facility Identification Number (FIN) assigned by ICCBBA to ensure global uniqueness.


How does the ISBT 128 CoI Identifier help improve patient safety?

The ISBT 128 CoI Identifier is used to secure the chain of custody throughout the lifecycle of human-derived biological material intended for patient-specific therapy.


Where can I find more information on the ISBT 128 Chain of Identity Identifier?
