not comply with Section 4.1 of the “ISBT 128 Bar Code Symbology and Application Speci-
fication for Labeling of Whole Blood and Blood Components” (June 2000, Version 1.2.1).

specified algorithm of the option you've chosen to ensure the integrity of the symbol data
before transmitting. If the data does not contain that algorithm, the data is not transmitted.
