Terminology and labeling of cellular products: 1. Standards

Bone Marrow Transplantation volume 40, pages 1075–1083 (2007)Cite this article

Abstract

The International Cellular Therapy Coding and Labeling Advisory Group was established to address the growing need for standardization of terminology and labeling for cellular therapy products as a result of increasing international transfer of these products. This paper presents new standards for terminology and labeling. These standards have been developed through a consultative process and are supported by key professional and accreditation bodies. By using these standards, together with the unique donation identification numbers and international product reference tables provided by the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) 128 Standard, consistency and traceability can be assured at the global level. A companion paper provides guidance on the implementation of the ISBT 128 system.
