?:definition
  • Alarms designed to activate a visual or more frequently audible (e.g., a buzzer sound) alarm when wetness caused by an involuntary small discharge of urine during sleep (i.e., enuresis) is detected. These devices typically consist of a humidity sensor that is attached to a pad, sheet, or the underwear of a patient (usually a child), an electronic unit, and an audible alarm located on or near the bed. When a child begins to wet the bed an alarm is triggered and wakes the child who can finish urinating in the toilet. Enuresis (also known as bed wetting) alarms are used mainly to facilitate a behavior modification treatment intended to get control of the urinary bladder in otherwise healthy children; they may be also used in geriatric/long-term care settings to manage incontinence.
