A medical article, such as an anchor pad for stabilizing a medical line and/or a medical line securement device to a patient's skin, is provided with a timer. The timer can measure and provide an indication of elapsed time. The timer can be flexible or rigid, and can be disposed directly on the anchor pad, on a flexible or rigid substrate disposed on the anchor pad, or on a retainer supported by the anchor pad. The anchor pad with integral timer provides an easy-to-use visual indicator of elapsed time since placement of the medical line, offering a reliable way to signal when the medical line should be re-sited. |
