Protocol 000005 – blood component fate information

25.10: Protocol 000005 – blood component fate information

One data line structure is currently defined within this protocol (see Tables 25.13 and 25.14). The data line is a multiple occurrence line with an entry for each item in the message. The data line has a line type indicator in common with the previous protocols to allow for additional line types to be created if required. It is expected that this message will be generated daily and will include information on all units that are:

free for use
allocated to a patient (either directly or notionally)
marked as transfused or wasted in the period from the date the report was last gathered (minus 5 days) up until the present date.

This message will be used for all products with the exception of certain batched products (such as anti-D). Some batched products are excluded as each dose may not be allocated a unique unit number (platelet pools are not excluded).

Table 25.13 Message protocol 000005: blood component fate information: data line

Field	Length	Description	Format	Mandatory?	Notes
1	5	Line number	NNNNN	Y
2	1	Line type	N	Y	=‘1’
3	15	Unit number	C(15)	Y	ISBT 128 donation identification number (data characters with check character, e.g. ‘G151797123456L’)
4	9	Product code	C(9)	Y	Component code (either a full 9- character Codabar code (including start and stop characters), or an 8- character ISBT 128 product code excluding the data identifier characters)
5	2	Group ABO	C(2)	Y	‘A’, ‘B’, ‘O’ or ‘AB’
6	1	Group RhD	C(1)	Y	‘+’ or ‘–’
7	1	Status	C(1)	Y	F = free A = allocated T = transfused W = wasted C = Confirmed transfusion Note: Confirmed transfusion refers to transfusions that have been positively confirmed by electronic means
8	5	Wasted classification code	C(5)	N	Only used if ‘Status’ (Field 7) is marked as wasted (W). The wasted classification codes are maintained by the Blood Stocks Management Scheme (see Table 25.14)
9	8	Date used/wasted	YYYYMMDD	N	Only if marked as wasted (W) or transfused (T or C). Presumptive YYYYMMDD should be included if exact date not known
10	4	Time used/wasted	HHMM	N	Only if marked as wasted (W) or transfused (T or C). Optional
11	3	Patient age	NNN	N	Only if marked as transfused (T or C). Optional. Age in number of full years
12	1	Patient gender	C(1)	N	Only if marked as transfused (T or C). Optional. M = male, F = female
13	10	Blank field	C(10)	N	Area reserved for future use
14	2	Checksum	NN	Y
15	1	Terminator	Carriage return	Y
