BUI-1: Set ID – BUI (SI) 03373

Definition: This field contains a sequence number. When multiple BUI segments are included in the same segment group, this number differentiates between them.

BUI-2: Blood Unit Identifier (EI) 03374

Definition: The blood unit identifier is a unique identifier assigned to the particular blood unit in a container.

BUI-3: Blood Unit Type (CWE) 03375

Definition: The type of blood unit. For donations, this is the type blood unit being described. This element defines which of the types from the referenced table are being described. Refer to HL7-Defined Table 0566 – Blood Unit Type in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for valid entries.

BUI-4: Blood Unit Weight (NM) 03376

Definition: The weight of the blood unit collected, not including the weight of the container.

BUI-5: Weight Units (CNE) 03377

Definition: The unit of measure for the weight of the blood unit. Concepts are pulled from the UCUM code system (www.unitsofmeasure.org). Refer to HL7-Defined Table 0929 – Weight Units in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for valid entries.

BUI-6: Blood Unit Volume (NM) 03378

Definition: The volume of the blood unit collected.

BUI-7: Volume Units (CNE) 03379

Definition: The unit of measure for the volume of the blood unit. Concepts are pulled from the UCUM code system (www.unitsofmeasure.org). Refer to HL7-Defined Table 0930 – Volume Units in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for valid entries.

BUI-8: Container Catalog Number (ST) 03380

Definition: The string catalog number of the blood unit container, which includes a specific container code to identify a collection bag.

BUI-9: Container Lot Number (ST) 03381

Definition: The lot number for the collection bag container as assigned by the container manufacturer.

BUI-10: Container Manufacturer (XON) 03382

Definition: The organization which manufactured the collection bag container.

BUI-11: Transport Temperature (NR) 03383

Definition: The temperature range between which the blood unit must be kept during transport.

BUI-12: Transport Temperature Units (CNE) 03384

Definition: The unit of measure of the transport temperature range. Concepts are pulled from the UCUM code system (www.unitsofmeasure.org). Refer to HL7-Defined Table 0931 – Temperature Units in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for valid entries.

BUI-13: Action Code (ID) 00816

Definition: This field reveals the intent of the message. Refer to HL7 Table 0206 - Segment Action Code for valid values.

The action code can only be used when an BUI is uniquely identified sufficiently within the specific implementation using BUI-2 in accordance with Chapter 2, Section 2.10.4.2
