 How
does the DRI Sleeper™ bedwetting alarm work?
The DRI Sleeper™ alarm unit is
held on the shoulder of the pyjamas or T shirt with
the Velcro supplied.
This makes sure that the alarm is close
to the ear for maximum waking.
All bed-wetters sleep heavily and so
the DRI Sleeper™ alarm unit is loud to overcome
this (see FAQ page).
|
 |
The Urosensor™ goes inside the crutch
of the underwear, and the cord from the Urosensor goes up
inside the pyjamas or T shirt, and plugs into the alarm unit.
|
It is best if the Urosensor™ is put inside a standard
minipad or pantyliner (available from any drugstore
or pharmacy) and then stuck in the crutch of the underwear.
This keeps the Urosensor™ in place and the minipad
quickly absorbs the urine for fast triggering of the
Urosensor™.

There
are four stages to treatment
| 1. |
When
wetting starts, the Urosensor™ detects the urine
and triggers the alarm. |
| 2. |
Over the next
few days or weeks your child begins to learn to wake up
more and more quickly as the alarm starts beeping. |
| 3. |
Then your child
will begin to "beat the buzzer" and will wake
up before the alarm is triggered. |
| 4. |
The final
stage is when your child no longer wets the bed, and either
gets up to go to the bathroom, or sleeps right through
the night while staying dry. This learning process averages
4-6 weeks, but can take only a week or two or more than
4-6 weeks. |

The
DRI Sleeper™
special electronics and electrolysis prevention
When an alarm is triggered
by urine it starts beeping. But what most people don't know,
is that with most alarms, all the time that the alarm is beeping,
there is an electric current passing through the sensor. Even
although the current is very small, it can cause the urine
to become acidic (called electrolysis) and that can irritate
sensitive skin.
But the DRI Sleeper™ is different,
as soon as the Urosensor™ is wet by urine, it triggers
the DRI Sleeper™ alarm, it starts beeping, and instantly
the special alarm electronics isolate the Urosensor™,
and no more current passes through the Urosensor™. The
DRI Sleeper™ alarm unit keeps on beeping, but with no
current in the Urosensor™ to make the urine acidic. Therefore
no acid, and no risk of skin irritation.
