How Is ICCBBA Funded?

ICCBBA operations are funded entirely from licensing fees collected from both facilities using the ISBT 128 standard and from vendors providing equipment or software that incorporates the standard.

Collaboration between GS1 and ICCBBA

ICCBBA and GS1 acknowledge their respective roles in healthcare standards and collaborate together to ensure compatibility between their standards. They will also collaborate to promote the adoption and implementation of automatic identification standards in healthcare around the world.

Other pacemakers showed interrogators (Stationary-type) and 37 types of AIMDs (25 distances less than 20 cm. These values were observed types of pacemakers and 12 types of ICDs) were carried out. when the pacemaker was set at the maximum sensitivity. The most significant effect is complete omission of pacing The MID was drastically shortened when the sensitivity was pulse and continuous generation of asynchronous pulses. reduced. RFID interrogators with intermittent transmission However, no EMI was observed for ICDs. With respect to signals tend to significantly impact AIMDs. This is because electronic circuit devices and construction, high power these periods match the physiological periods of human handling types are required for ICDs, while pacemakers heartbeat (few Hz to several hundred Hz). use low power ones. This difference might be a reason for the differences in EMI seen between ICDs and pacemakers. Conclusion Detailed investigations of the EMI mitigation filter and the AIMD circuit are expected to find the definitive cause. This important TR will certainly contributed to achieving greater patient safety and decreasing EMI risks in respect The worst MID was 75 cm for just one pacemaker and of implant users. one RFID interrogator. With another interrogator, 72 cm was obtained. Though it was not confirmed, there
