BRP^O30 — Blood Product Dispense Status
Dispense status of a labile blood product between blood centre / supplier site and the transfusing site. Cornerstone of haemovigilance traceability.
Purpose
BRP^O30 notifies the change of status of a labile blood product: reserved, dispensed, returned, transfused, expired. One of the key chapter 4A messages introduced in v2.5 to meet ISBT-128 traceability requirements. The BPX segment carries the status code (DI Dispensed, RD Returned, RA Released, etc.) and the product unique identifier (PRODUCTID).
Segment structure
Structure BRP_O30: MSH, [PID, [PD1], [NTE], [PV1], [PV2]], ORC, BPO, BPX, [NTE].
| Segment | Role |
|---|---|
ORC | Common Order — blood centre order # + site request #. |
BPO | Blood Product Order — product type, quantity, indication. |
BPX | Blood Product Dispense Status — status code, product unit ID, ABO/Rh group. |

MSA|AA|BRP30001Common errors
- Empty BPX-10 (Product ID): ISBT-128 traceability is broken — regulatory requirement (FDA 21 CFR 606, EU directive 2002/98/EC).
- Missing BPX-12 (blood group): the HIS cannot re-check compatibility.
- BRP / BRT confusion: BRT (O32) is the effective transfusion ; BRP (O30) is dispense.
- Wrong ORC-1: use RE (Observations to follow) or SC (Status changed), not NW.
