HIBCC Medical Device Barcode Decoder & Modulo-43 Checksum Spec
Parse primary and secondary HIBCC medical barcodes with Modulo-43 check character validation.
Quick Technical Summary: Parse primary and secondary HIBCC medical barcodes with Modulo-43 check character validation. Implementation conforms to FDA 21 CFR 801.20 / EU MDR 2017/745.
Specification & Structural Breakdown
HIBCC formats use a leading plus sign (+) followed by a 4-character Labeler Identification Code (LIC), product code, unit of measure, and Modulo-43 checksum.
| Segment | Prefix | Content | Checksum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary DI | + | +[LIC][Product Code][UOM][Mod43] | Modulo-43 |
| Secondary PI | +$$ or /$$ | $$[Date Format][Exp][Lot][Mod43] | Modulo-43 |
