Should I choose HIBC PDF417 for any medical label?

No. Follow the barcode format required by your labeling system. Ordinary PDF417 does not add the HIBC prefix and check character, and HIBC MicroPDF417 is a different format. Test the full label at its printed size with the intended reader.

How do I check the code before printing?

Leave the white margins intact, keep the image in proportion and scan a sample at its final printed size with the device you intend to use.
