Mickey wireless bedwetting alarm
Mickey is the latest addition to our range! The wireless alarm provides optimum sleeping comfort. This bedwetting alarm offers a range of 5 different alarms that can easily be adjusted to the required volume. Moreover, this bedwetting alarm distinguishes itself by its extremely child-friendly design.
Bedwetting
It’s certainly not the only one! Children become toilet-trained during the first years of their life. Children become aware of the urge to urinate. Children also need to learn how to retain their urine at night or wake up to go to the toilet. Bedwetting refers to the situation in which a child who is no longer an infant regularly wets its bed without there being a medical reason. Although this is a difficult problem, something can be done about it.
Training using a bedwetting alarm
Bedwetting alarms teach children to wake up from the feeling of a full bladder. The bedwetting alarm sounds an alarm immediately the child begins to lose the first drops of urine so that the child can stop urinating. The alarm is switched off and the child goes to the toilet. After a while, the child automatically wakes up when its bladder is full.
What happens next?
Over the course of time the alarm will sound less and less frequently as the child begins to wake up automatically. The bedwetting alarm can be set aside once the child has stayed dry for fourteen nights in a row. The child has overcome its bedwetting after a further successful fourteen nights without the bedwetting alarm, and the training is complete.
Are the purchase costs reimbursed?
Your healthcare insurer may reimburse all or part of the cost of a bedwetting alarm, depending on the type of insurance that you have taken out (whether you have supplementary insurance alongside basic healthcare insurance). You will need a written statement, with reasons, from your GP or specialist to qualify for reimbursement.
The bedwetting alarm
Extremely user-friendly, light and compact, with a sensor that is clipped to special underwear.
How does the bedwetting alarm work?
When going to bed, the Mickey bedwetting alarm is on, the sensor pants are put on and the transmitter is clicked on. Place the receiver within a range of about 5 meters with the plug in the socket (try to avoid a socket with other plugs).
The condition is that the user really has to get out of bed to turn off the alarm. The user must wake up completely and not be able to raise the alarm in the subconscious like with a regular alarm clock.
Motivation of the child (the user)
It is important that the child is motivated to use the bedwetting alarm so that it can muster the self-discipline required for success. Jointly filling in the scorecard can increase motivation.
Safety
The bedwetting alarm is an advanced device that uses microelectronics. The sensor detects moisture using very weak currents that are completely safe. Consequently, the bedwetting alarm meets all safety standards.

Frequently asked questions
Bedwetting is quite common, so children who wet their bed do not need to feel ashamed. Nevertheless, it is a great problem for both the child and its parents/carers. The child can become uncertain and develop a negative self-image. Bedwetting can also harm its social life, as an overnight stay at friends or school camp can suddenly become a serious problem. The impact on the social life of the child increases with its age.
A bedwetting alarm is a simple and child-friendly aid that helps children overcome wetting the bed.
The bedwetting alarm sounds an alarm immediately after the first loss of urine. The alarm wakes the child, who then closes the bladder sphincter in a reflex. This trains the child to feel that its bladder is full even when it is asleep. Once the child has woken up it should go to the toilet. This trains the child to go to the toilet even when it is sleepy.
The Mickey bedwetting alarm consists of a transmitter and sensor.
The transmitter is supplied with a 3V battery. The battery life
with normal use is at least 2 months. The transmitter’s
snap buttons should be clipped to the front of the sensor underwear
before use. The alarm is set off immediately the sensor becomes moist.
Some healthcare insurers reimburse the purchase of a bedwetting alarm. They may reimburse all or part of the cost, depending on the type of insurance that you have taken out (whether you have supplementary insurance alongside basic healthcare insurance). Always begin by consulting your policy conditions. You will always need a referral note from your GP or specialist to qualify for reimbursement.
Your GP can prescribe the aid.
Bedwetting alarms are generally used for children older than 6 to 7. It is important that your child wants to stop wetting the bed: it needs to be sufficiently motivated to solve the bedwetting problem.
The points scored each night are entered on the Enurogram score card supplied with the device to keep track of progress. This acts as a great incentive, as the user will try to earn as many points as quickly as possible. You can increase this incentive by giving the user a – small – reward for good performance.
The training has succeeded once the user has slept dry through the night during a 3 week period
or has woken up to go to the toilet
without needing to be woken up by the alarm.
Perseverance on the part of both the parents/carer and the child is key to success
