ABSTRACT:
A selectable medical indicator is adapted for removable attachment to the outside cover of a medical record binder or a medical chart holder, so medical personnel may preset color indicia at a viewing slot, to thereafter signal other medical personnel as to the treatment to be rendered to a patient. A preferred embodiment comprises the assembly of three injection molded parts. The first part is a rectangular indicator having multiple transverse color stripes and an integral resilient side finger manipulator actuator. The second part is a back body having integral resilient depending prongs serving a clipping function, with the outside of the back body cooperatively serving this clipping function, and with the inside of the back body serving a guiding function for the rectangular indicator. The third part is a front body having an inside recess serving a guiding function for the rectangular indicator, a transverse front viewing slot for observing a selected color stripe, and side accessible detents for selectively positioning the finger manipulated indicator to present and to hold a selected color stripe at the viewing slot.
