Is ISBT 128 Always in 2D Data Matrix?

No, Code 128 linear symbols may be used, but it leads to a very long barcode and such long barcodes may not fit on the labels of human cells, tissues, and cellular tissue-based products (HTC/Ps). The recommendation is to use 2D, especially in a case where a system is just being set up because it is more efficient.

Another consideration is what code will be best for those receiving the product with the label. Those receiving the product must be able to understand and utilize the data included in a way that is useful to them.

USDM Life Sciences will help you assess, plan and execute the changes and enhancements necessary to meet UDI regulations. Our team of UDI experts will assess your products, the markets where they are sold and determine an implementation strategy for the changes that need to be made. USDM's assessment methodology is extensive and includes the labels and packaging, the management of identification changes to each product, the changes to PLM, ERP, EPCIS and packaging systems, changes to printing, vision inspection and warehouse/inventory management systems and interfaces to the GUDID.
