HIBC Barcodes

HIBC Barcodes

Aspose.BarCode for Java supports structured HIBC LIC and HIBC PAS models. LIC combines product identification with secondary production data, while PAS stores typed healthcare process records.

Configure HIBC LIC primary data

PrimaryData primaryData = new PrimaryData();

primaryData.setLabelerIdentificationCode("A999");
primaryData.setProductOrCatalogNumber("12345");
primaryData.setUnitOfMeasureID(1);

Configure HIBC LIC secondary data

SecondaryAndAdditionalData secondaryData =
        new SecondaryAndAdditionalData();

secondaryData.setExpiryDateFormat(
        HIBCLICDateFormat.YYYYMMDD
);
secondaryData.setExpiryDate(
        LocalDateTime.of(2027, 12, 31, 0, 0)
);
secondaryData.setQuantity(30);
secondaryData.setLotNumber("LOT123");
secondaryData.setSerialNumber("SERIAL123");

Generate and decode HIBC LIC

HIBCLICCombinedCodetext codetext =
        new HIBCLICCombinedCodetext();

codetext.setBarcodeType(EncodeTypes.HIBCQRLIC);
codetext.setPrimaryData(primaryData);
codetext.setSecondaryAndAdditionalData(secondaryData);

ComplexBarcodeGenerator generator =
        new ComplexBarcodeGenerator(codetext);

Decode the recognized text with ComplexCodetextReader.tryDecodeHIBCLIC and verify the returned subtype before casting.

Create HIBC PAS records

HIBCPASCodetext codetext =
        new HIBCPASCodetext();

codetext.setDataLocation(
        HIBCPASDataLocation.PATIENT
);

codetext.addRecord(
        HIBCPASDataType.LABELER_IDENTIFICATION_CODE,
        "A123"
);

codetext.addRecord(
        HIBCPASDataType.MANUFACTURER_SERIAL_NUMBER,
        "SERIAL123"
);

codetext.setBarcodeType(
        EncodeTypes.HIBC_DATA_MATRIX_PAS
);

Decode HIBC PAS

HIBCPASCodetext decoded =
        ComplexCodetextReader.tryDecodeHIBCPAS(
                results[0].getCodeText()
        );

Validate the data location and record collection after decoding.

Recommendations

• Select the correct HIBC carrier type.
• Keep primary and secondary LIC data separate.
• Use the matching expiry-date format.
• Use typed PAS identifiers for every record.
• Validate decoded records and business fields.
