PottyMD Bed Wetting Product Usage
 |
The Wet-Stop2 device is a behavioral
modification system for the treatment of bedwetting in
children. This device can be used in the detection of
wetness resulting from urination. The device consists of an
alarm unit attached to a sensor via a cable connection. The
alarm unit is designed with a magnetic tether attachment
system to be worn with a pajama or shirt top. The sensor is
designed with a quick-clip jaw, allowing convenient
attachment to a child's pajama bottoms or underpants. |
Pre-Use Test: Pull
out the tabs under battery lid to activate the device.
Ensure the volume switch setting is set to the highest
level. Next, depress the white sensor pushbutton. Insert a
wet cloth fully inside sensor grip. Make sure the metal
probes inside the sensor are in contact with the wet cloth. |
|
Alarm Tone and Volume
Selection: Select the alarm tone by sliding the tone
selection switch to different positions and choosing your
desired tone while continuing to grip the wet cloth with the
sensor. After the tone selection step is complete, move the
volume switch to the off position to stop the alarm. You can
then set the volume switch to the desired level before
attaching the Wet-Stop2 to the child's clothing as described
in the section below. Do Not Hold An
Alarm Device Within 3 inches of The Ear. |
 |
Wet-Stop2 Use: Attach
the alarm unit to the pajama top using the magnetic tether
strap. An optional attachment method is to attach the alarm
unit to pajama top using a safety pin through the hole on
the top of the tether strap. Next, put the cord under the
pajama, going in at the collar and out to the hem of the
shirt. Attach the sensor to the child's underwear,
stretching the underwear into the sensor opening. A small
amount of moisture on the underwear material inside the
sensor opening will cause the alarm to sound, so be sure
your child does not wet on the underwear before going
to bed. When Urine sets off the alarm, turn the volume
switch to the off position. If the alarm is left in the on
position, it will keep sounding continuously for one minute,
followed by another minute of intermittent alarm sound,
followed by blinking lights. |

Parental Help in Essential
For Success:
During the first week or two, parental help will be needed
to teach your child to react to the alarm. At this time, it
is common for your child to empty the bladder in bed and
discover upon going to the bathroom that there is nothing
left to urinate. During the next few weeks your child begins
to stop the urination stream earlier and will finish
urinating in the toilet. Each success will result in smaller
wet spots, which will shrink further with continued
training. Soon thereafter, your child will begin to awaken
when the urge is felt, anticipating the alarm. There will
still be times when the alarm will sound, but the wet spot
will be only on the underwear, leaving the bed dry. After
3-6 months, your child should have periods of uninterrupted
dryness. There may still be occasional wet nights, so
continue to use the alarm until your child has had one month
of uninterrupted dryness, then strip using the alarm.
A relapse is when your child wets for two or more nights in
a row after a month or more of dryness. If a relapse occurs,
begin using the alarm again immediately. Relapses are easier
to cure than the original bed-wetting. Since your child may
have become unaccustomed to the alarm, parental help may be
needed initially, as it was when the alarm was first
introduced. |
