Every year, blood centers track and process millions of units of donated blood, ensuring the safety and health of countless patients nationwide. For over 45 years, we at Computype have been at the forefront of this vital effort, pioneering the practice of uniquely identifying blood units with sequentially numbered Donation Identification Number (DIN) label sets.

Before the 1970s, blood donations were labeled by hand, a process that was labor intensive and prone to errors. Recognizing these challenges, we stepped in during the mid-1970s to modernize blood labeling practices. Since then, we have consistently delivered high-quality, accurate labeling solutions that ensure both physical and digital integrity. Today, as the largest worldwide supplier of DIN labels, we understand that data integrity, product reliability, and patient safety are paramount to success in blood labeling.



 

Helping a Blood Center Solve Critical Tracking Challenges

When a leading blood center approached us, they were facing significant challenges. Like many other centers, they needed a dependable system for barcoded DIN sets, with the confidence that they would never receive duplicate numbers. Previously, they relied on handwritten tags or labels from unreliable printing systems to identify blood donations.

The critical need for a reliable, barcoded system was vital to ensure the safety and integrity of their blood supply. They needed absolute confidence in the first-time scannability of their labels and the confidence that none of the numbers encoded in the barcodes were duplicates of any other numbers within the specified range.

With these challenges in mind, the blood center sought a partner who could provide an unparalleled level of accuracy and reliability. We pioneered the use of the photographic imaging process in the production of sequentially-numbered barcoded label DIN sets for the unique identification of each individual blood collection.


Combining our advanced digital offset printing technology with a vision-based inspection system, we delivered a solution that met every requirement. Our custom-designed software system ensures that duplicate numbers are never entered into the production process. The advanced vision-based inspection system scans and decodes every barcode symbol on every label set to ensure correct position and scannability. This guarantees that every barcode is sequentially numbered without duplication or gaps.

Since implementing this advanced labeling solution, the blood center has seen significant gains in data integrity and operational efficiency. Our rigorous quality control has virtually eliminated errors, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and maintaining the highest levels of patient safety. This partnership has saved time, reduced errors, and supported the blood center’s reputation as a leader in blood donation and processing.



Setting the Standard in Blood Labeling Accuracy and Reliability

We’ve produced tens of millions of DIN label sets with nearly flawless accuracy, underscoring our commitment to quality and innovation in blood labeling technology. As the primary supplier of blood product labels in North America, our labels now track 75% of the continent’s blood supply with meticulous accuracy.

Blood centers worldwide continue to trust Computype to deliver consistent label integrity. Looking forward, we remain committed to helping blood centers uphold the highest standards in blood labeling, ensuring the safety and reliability of the nation’s blood supply.
