How does it work?
The Astric Dry-Bed bed wetting alarm is in two parts, an extremely sensitive control unit which uses the latest electronic techniques and a light, comfortable detector pad which is placed over the mattress protector and sheet, then covered with a smaller sheet – flanelette would be ideal (draw-sheet).
The equipment is made ready for use by simply plugging the pad into the control unit.
As soon as the first few drops of urine touch the pad, the bed wetting alarm emits a loud humming tone which will awaken the patient. The equipment is battery powered.

Is it safe?
YES: the Astric Dry-Bed bed wetting alarm is a Class 1 medical device, and was inspected and tested annually by the Medical Devices Agency to ensure compliance with MDA Directive (Annex V11) 93/42.EEC.
Approved by The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
What about really bad cases?
An interesting feature of the method is that, because those patients who wet more often are awakened more frequently by the Astric Dry-Bed bed wetting alarm, they tend to respond to treatment in a shorter than average period.
