ISBT128 LABELING STANDARD FAQs




I heard there were "flags" used in the Donation Identification Number. What do you mean by flags and do I need to use the flags?

Flags are part of the ISBT 128 data structure and are unique identifiers that can be used to facilitate the control of various processes in a blood center. For example, different sample tubes can be 'flagged' to ensure that the correct tube is used for a specific test procedure. The decision to use the flags is voluntary and will not interfere with shipments of blood products from one facility to another.
