WBS-ITT-58175 Donor Identification Number Labels
Notice Description
The Welsh Blood Service (WBS) collects blood donations from voluntary donors across Wales and processes these donations into blood components for transfusion. Each donation is assigned a unique Donation Identification Number (DIN), which enables traceability from collection to transfusion. The DIN system is essential for ensuring the safety of the blood supply. It provides a unique identifier that links blood components and samples collected during donation. DIN labels are a regulatory requirement, and this User Requirement Specification outlines how the labels procured for WBS will comply with these requirements.
