Health Industry - HIBCC43

The check digit is the modulus 43 sum of all the character values in a given message, and is printed as the last character in a given message.

Example:

Supplier Labelling Data Structure:

+ A 1 2 3 B J C 5 D 6 E 7 1

Sum of values:

41+10+1+2+3+11+19+12+5+13+6+14+7+1 = 145

Divide 145 by 43. The quotient is 3 with a remainder of 16. The check digit is the character corresponding to the value of the remainder, which in this example is 16, or G. The complete Supplier Labeling Data Structure, including the check digit, therefore is:
