Incontinence Alarms

Line Item Description

The support item 03_050903053_0103_1_1 Incontinence Alarms is a Core Support item provided under the Consumables support category (Category 03).

This item funds devices that are used for continence training to assist participants in gaining bladder control. This includes alarms or similar monitoring devices that sense moisture, such as a buzzer. These supports are typically used as part of a continence management plan to address issues like bedwetting (enuresis).

Examples of equipment covered under this line item include:

Enuresis alarms (bedwetting alarms)

Timers or mobile applications used for continence control and monitoring

Equipment used in biofeedback for continence issues

Muscle stimulators for continence issues (e.g., TENS machine, Queen Square bladder stimulator)

The use of incontinence alarms works on the principle of conditioned learning, helping the brain establish control over the bladder to prevent wetting. The alarm sounds upon the first detection of moisture, which prompts the user to wake up and stop the flow of urine.
