The documents provided are for your reference and include details on recently added and currently active Vitalant ISBT 128 PDCs.

As you begin entering these commonly used Vitalant ISBT 128 PDCs, we recommend the following:

• Collaborate across teams: Any groups at your facility that work with these codes or will enter them into your systems (e.g., IT, blood bank, laboratory) should work together to prioritize the list. Focus on the ISBT 128 PDCs your facility uses most often.
• Check with your LIS vendor: Confirm that your Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) can accept ISBT 128 PDCs starting with “EA,” as these will appear in all codes provided going forward.
• Note on divided codes: Codes like VA0–VE0 are not listed below; only the first five characters of an item number are shown. At a minimum, divided codes (VA0–VB0) should be entered into your LIS—even if you don’t aliquot products—because you may receive them as standard adult dose products.
