Marjorie, ISBT 128 just uses Code 128, a very common code which your readers should be able to read if properly programmed. Here's a couple of links: one to some ISBT info and another to an online copy of the WA 3800 manual which you can download and use to try to reprogram your scanners.

We are currently using the Welsh Allyn 3800's, but they can't read ISBT 128 bar codes, and we are trying to position for the upcoming blood bank changes from Codabar to ISBT 128. If anyone has any recommendations on a good scanner which would work well for both applications, I would appreciate it.
