Avoid using the very thin type of minipad or pantyliner because they can
cause unreliable triggering. For example, triggering in response to sweat or not
triggering at all due to insufcient absorbent material.
It is useful to practise locating the Urosensor
™
in a minipad before using it with
your child so you can be sure that the alarm is able to trigger. To do this place
the Urosensor
™
in a minipad then switch on the alarm and pour 2-3 teaspoons of
warm water onto the pad and see how the water is absorbed down onto the black
sensing strips of the Urosensor
™
before triggering the alarm.
4.
Stick the minipad into the crotch of your child’s underwear making sure that
the Urosensor
™
is near where the urine will be passed.
5.
When the alarm is triggered make sure your child gets out of bed promptly,
turns the alarm off and goes to the bathroom.
6.
Remove the Urosensor
™
from the minipad and wash it in liquid soap or
detergent.
Note: do not use chlorine-based detergents or soaps as these will irreparably
damage the sensing strips.
7.
Dry the Urosensor
™
well, especially between the two black sensing strips.
This resets the Urosensor
™
. If the Urosensor
™
is not dried well it will not
reset and the alarm will not trigger when there is another bedwetting event.
Insert the Urosensor
™
in a new, dry minipad.
8.
Switch the alarm back on when your child gets into bed.
9.
Repeat steps 5-8 if the alarm triggers again.
10.
During the day, and when not in use, switch off the alarm base to save battery
life and put it in a safe place to prevent damage.
Other ways to position the Urosensor
™
Using a paper handkerchief or some tissue
1. Wrap the Urosensor
™
in ½ a 2-3 ply paper
handkerchief or tissue.
2. Put on a pair of close tting underpants
3. Insert the wrapped Urosensor
™
inside the
underpants just above the crotch area. Make
sure the black sensing strips are facing the
crotch.
