Abstract: An indicia member for preventing wrong-site medical procedures includes a support for being releaseably secured on an anatomical site that is not to be subjected to a medical procedure, with the support carrying pre-printed indicia and literally communicating that the anatomical site is the wrong site for the medical procedure. The indicia may also include symbolic indicia graphically or pictorially communicating that the anatomical site is not to be subjected to a medical procedure. A method for preventing a medical procedure from being performed at the wrong anatomical site comprises the steps of releaseably securing an indicia member on an anatomical site that is not to be subjected to a medical procedure and literally, verbally communicating, via pre-printed indicia of the indicia member, that the anatomical site is the wrong site for the medical procedure.
