Alarm device for the treatment of bedwetting

Description:

The new is a wireless radio alarm for the treatment of bedwetting
and for incontinence, whose radio receiver can simultaneously manage up to 5
transmitter units (patients). It is ideally suited for use in clinics and care units,
as the signals for all incoming alarms arrives to a single station. The device can
also be operated in combination with contact pads, as well as with bed liners
(ring mats).
Each transmitter has a unique identification code and at its activation is paired
with the receiver used and the desired radio channel.

Advantage: Each transmitter can be paired with any or

receiver. A Transmitter can be connected to both an absorbent pad

for underwear as well as to a bed liner (ring mat, see page 17).

Absorbent pads which are fastened to underwear in use are available for the new
version too. They can be used freely in any underwear and also offer continuous use
without a drying phase. They can be re-inserted immediately after an alarm. It is not
necessary to use special underpants.

Thanks to the new mobile, even smaller and more convenient transmitter, the
product is now significantly more flexible, offering increased sleeping comfort
and freedom of movement. Additionally the transmitter is equipped with a switchable

vibration alarm.

The unique identification code of the transmitter allows the use of multiple devices
within a common environment without interference. The radio range within buildings is
between 15 and 30 metres.

Important note:

In the delivery pack for a , only a Transmitter, a Receiver and a set of
contact pads are included. For operation with multiple Transmitters or multiple
Receivers, as well as operation with bed liners, these must be purchased in the
required number (see section "Accessories" on page 24 of this manual).

Starting the device:

Important note: Neither Transmitter or Receiver have an on or off button or switch.

Once the batteries are inserted in both the Transmitter and the Receiver and the
Transmitter has been paired to the Receiver, the unit is ready for use.
Depending on the number of alarms triggered their respective durations, after the
starting of the device the batteries are functional for several weeks before they have to
be replaced.

Preparation of the Receiver:

The Receiver can be powered using the power supply unit (fig. 9)
type SYS1421-0605-W2E, and also with two commercially available 1.5V AA batteries.

a) Battery operation

• Open the battery compartment on the Receiver. To do this, slide the lid of the
battery compartment outwards, in the direction of the arrow. (Fig. 10a)

• Insert two 1.5 V AA batteries. Important: When inserting, check the correct
polarity of the batteries! (Fig. 10b)

• Close the battery compartment

• The Receiver is now ready for use

Fig. 10a: Receiver, back with closed battery compartment

11

Fig. 10b: Receiver, back with open battery compartment

b) Mains supply operation

• Connect the power supply unit (fig. 9) with the Receiver. Then connect the
power supply unit to a wall socket

• Note: Even when using the power supply, it is always recommended to keep
batteries inserted in the Receiver. In this way, you can always ensure that the
device will always continue to work even in the event of power failure. Battery
power is used only if the unit is disconnected from the Receiver or from the
power supply.

• During operation with a power supply, the "Receiver Mode" LED is green and
continuously lit (fig. 5).

Important information about the Transmitter

The transmitter is equipped with a vibration alarm. This vibration alarm can be switched
on or off at your choice. If vibration alarm is switched on and an alarm is being triggered
by the wet sensor, additionally to the acoustic signal of the receiver the alarm is also
being signalized by vibration directly at the body of the patient.

Important note: The vibration alarm consumes significantly more battery power than
the radio signal of the transmitter. As long as the connected wet sensor will not be
separated from the transmitter, the vibration would continue until sensor and
transmitter will be disconnected from each other. Therefore, the vibrations alarm
duration is limited to a maximum of ca. 1 minute. However, by exceeding this time limit
a radio signal is furthermore being sent to the receiver.At switched on vibration alarm,
the capacity of the battery withstands approximately 80 alarm cycles. At switched off
vibration alarm the lifetime of the battery maybe up to several weeks.

Pairing a Transmitter to the Receiver (pairing mode):

• (1) press the button on the receiver (fig. 5) for approx. 3 seconds and then
release.

• (2) a short double beep rings and both LEDs light up for the Transmitter (orange

- drop icon and red - battery symbol) of all 5 channels (10 LEDs), for approx. 1
second. (Fig. 5)

• (3) then only the LED display for the transmitter (orange - drop icon and red -
battery icon) is lit on channel 1. This means that channel 1 is activated for pairing
with a Transmitter.

• (4) another short press of the function button makes the Receiver switch onto
the next channel (acknowledged by a short sound), which is ready for the pairing
of a Transmitter.

• (5) press the function button repeatedly until the channel you want to be paired
to the Transmitter is activated.

• (6) press briefly the "pairing button" on the Transmitter (fig. 4) a short double
beep sounds again, which confirms the pairing to the Transmitter.
Both LED displays go off.

• (7) Transmitter and Receiver now communicate on the channel that was
previously selected.

If you want to pair multiple transmitters, you must repeat the procedure (steps
1 to 7) for each Transmitter. Select a radio channel that is still free for each new
Transmitter.

Important note: If you pair a new Transmitter on a channel which was previously
programmed for another Transmitter, the code of the previously programmed

Transmitter is overwritten and deleted from the Receiver’s memory. The newly paired

Transmitter is now activated for the selected channel.

Important note: If during further and regular use of you should
accidentally move back to the "pairing mode", acknowledgement to the Transmitter is
no longer required. After about 30 seconds, the Receiver switches back to Normal
mode. When the Pairing mode is switched on, the function button can also be pressed
again for 3 seconds and then released. The device switches back to Normal mode.

Important note: The Transmitter’s paired codes remain stored in the Receiver even

when batteries are removed for a long period. It is not necessary to pair the Transmitter
again when replacing the batteries. This is also the case, if after a pairing process the
vibration alarm will be switched on or off.

Delete all paired Transmitters

Press the operating button on the Receiver (fig. 5) for approx. 12 seconds without
letting it go. You will hear a short double beep. All LEDs on the Receiver light up for
approx. 1 second, then go out. Immediately after you hear a double beep again and all
LEDs light up again for approx. 1 second. All previously paired Transmitter codes are
now cleared in the Receiver's memory

15

is now ready for use.

Function test:

Perform a function test of the device for each paired Transmitter as follows:

• Press the "pairing button" on the Transmitter. For as long as you hold the button,
the two LED displays light up on the Receiver (orange - drop icon and Red ­battery icon) of the radio channel to which the Transmitter was paired.
Transmitter and Receiver are connected to this channel. Please keep in mind
that it may take about 1-2 seconds when you press the pairing button until the
LEDs are lit. This is due to the fact that the Transmitter, in order to save power,
communicates with the Receiver in a pulsed mode.

• Bridge over both Transmitter buttons (fig. 4) with a coin (or any other electrically
conductive object) and firmly hold the coin on the press studs so that a
permanent electrical conductivity is provided.

• An increasingly loud alarm signal will sound.

• The LED display for the Transmitter (fig. 5) "orange - drop symbol" (alarm off)

lights up in the Receiver.

• Remove the coin from the press studs.

• The alarm signal continues until the alarm is switched off.

• On the receiver, press the "alarm stop" button. (Fig. 5)

• The alarm signal stops. The orange Display for the Transmitter LED goes out.

More information on the operation of the unit

Operation of with contact pads

It is recommended that several pairs of snug-fitting boxers or briefs, in the appropriate
size, are available throughout the duration of the treatment.

The absorbent contact pads supplied with the device (3 units) are placed in the pants
so that the centre of the contact pad is placed in front of the urethral opening. The
double-sided adhesive points supplied are used for fastening to the pants.

• Fasten a dry contact pad to the pants.

• Connect the press studs of the contact pad with the press studs of the

Transmitter.

17

• Fasten the transmitter with the fixing clip to the outside of the underpants.

Fig. 13: Attaching the Transmitter to the underpants

Triggering the alarm:

A few drops of urine are enough to trigger the alarm signal. The wearer is woken up
(by the staff, depending on where the receiver with the wake-up signal is placed)
before large amounts of urine escape from the bladder.

This early alarm is designed to assist in reinforcing the reflex signalling the urgent need
to urinate and is extremely important in the success of the treatment. In this way, the
patient learns to immediately stop the urine, to stand up and go to the toilet.

• An increasingly loud alarm signal will sound.

• The LED display for the Transmitter (fig. 5) "orange - drop symbol" (alarm)

lights up for the channel which was previously paired with the corresponding
Transmitter. As long as an electrical connection is made through the urine on
the contact pad, this loud alarm sounds continuously and with short breaks
between single signals.

Stopping the alarm:

• The alarm sound can be turned off by pressing the button "Alarm stop".
(by the staff, at the central location)

• As long as there is an electrical connection through the urine on the contact
pad, the orange LED light “Alarm” however stays lit. For care staff, this
indicates that there is a need for intervention. Once the Transmitter is
disconnected from the wet area and / or is linked again with a dry line, a

repeated pressing of the button “Alarm stop” obtains the LED display to switch

off.

18

After having been to the toilet and having emptied the bladder, dry pants and a new
contact pad must be worn. Once the connection to the Transmitter is restored,

is ready to go again. The patient can go back to sleep.

Operating with bed liner (LiSSI® sensor matte)
The needs of patients and parents can be very different, which is why

a device must be flexible and able to adapt to the situation.

‘s standard equipment comprises contact pads for underwear.

Should the need arise, for therapeutic reasons, to use the device as a "Ring mat"
you just need to purchase the appropriate bed liner.
Transmitter and Receiver are suitable for both systems.

A bed liner compatible with is the „LiSSI® sensor matte“
(also available as a SET).

Important note: Since the transmitter of is not in direct contact with the
patient's body when using a ring mat, it is recommended to switch off the vibrating
alarm on the transmitter. This significantly increases the lifetime of the transmitter
battery.

Please refer to the instruction manual for the “LiSSI® sensor matte” for the further
procedure.

Fig. 13: Operation of with “LiSSI® sensor matte”

19

The LiSSI® sensor matte can be purchased via our Web shop (www.uriphon.de) with
item number LP0020, as a SET together with with item number

WLP0038, from the specialized resellers or through your pharmacy.

Operating with several Receivers

Especially when operating the device in hospitals or nursing homes, the need arises
to signal an acoustic alarm at different locations - as in the room of the patient himself
and in the room in which the nursing staff is located.

A transmitter basically can be operated with an unlimited number of
receivers. A further receiver must only be registered (paired) to the transmitter (see
section “Pairing of the Transmitter to the Receiver“, page 14). All receivers paired
with the transmitter give an acoustic signal in the event of an alarm simultaneously.
The alarm sounds however, have to be switched off individually for each receiver
(see section "Stopping the Alarm", page 17)

For answers to frequently asked questions and advice on the treatment of enuresis,
please refer to the enclosed brochure "Bedwetting – latest information for a common

problem.

Maintenance and cleaning:

The contact pads should be checked on a regular basis. To do this, connect them
when dry to the device and wet them in the middle of the bottom part with a few drops
of water. If the drops of water are immediately absorbed and the alarm is immediately
activated, the pads are in perfect condition.

If the drops of water remain in the shape of beads on the surface of the pad, absorption
is impaired. In this case, the pads should be replaced with new ones.

The cleaning of contact pads can be done using commercially available detergents,
preferably hand wash but also machine wash at 40° C. Don’t use any fabric softener!
Never squeeze the pads, but after thorough rinsing lay them flat between two dry cloths
and press out any moisture with the cloth. Then hang to dry. For reuse, the pads must
be absolutely dry, because any moisture can immediately trigger the alarm.

To fully extend the life of the contact pads it is recommended that they are washed
after use for a few hours in a container filled with water.

The Transmitter and Receiver can be cleaned with a cloth moistened with clean
water or germicide. Never immerse the devices in water or any other liquid or hold

them under a jet of water.

Storage:

should be stored in a cool and dry place. If the device is not used for a
long time, it is advisable to remove the batteries from both the Transmitter and
Receiver. This will prevent any potential damage to the unit from leaking batteries.
