Flag characters can be used for process control of 'critical points' during processing and distribution to enhance the safety of medical products of human origin. Critical points include labelling and relabelling of blood and blood components, and printing and attaching a record to follow specific units of blood or blood components.

This document provides an example of the use of flag characters in the Donation Identification Number (DIN) for process control of critical points during processing and distribution of blood products. This document is intended as a supplement to the ISBT 128 Standard Technical Specification (ST-001).
