Blood-bag identification (Blood-bag ID)

ISBT 128 is an international standard for printed information on blood bags. This needs to be printed on specific label materials such as 8000T Blood Bag, specially designed to prevent the label adhesive from contaminating the blood. Typically these labels will be printed in the blood bank where the collected blood is tested and sorted before being distributed to hospitals.

Zebra has a large installed base of printers in blood banks. The ZM400™ and S4M™ are ideal printers for these applications as they have a compact footprint, are easy to use and reliable, and can connect to blood-bank systems easily.
