What is a bed wetting alarm?
A bed wetting alarm is a moisture detection system that alerts a carer when urine is detected on a bed mat or pad. Safe-Life provides wired and wireless Cura1 incontinence detection systems designed for reliable performance, easy cleaning, and compatibility with nurse call systems. These alarms support both residential homes and aged care environments.
How do bed wetting alarms work?
- The user lies on or near a moisture-sensitive bed pad.
- When urine is detected, the sensor triggers a connected monitor or nurse call point.
- The alert sounds locally or routes to staff via existing nurse call cabling.
- Carers attend quickly to change bedding and ensure user comfort.
- Pads are cleaned and reused according to the printed hygiene guidelines.
Who are bed wetting alarms suitable for?
- Adults managing incontinence at home.
- Aged care residents who require reliable overnight monitoring.
- People with mobility limitations who cannot self-manage toileting.
- Carers supporting individuals with dementia or frailty.
- Home users needing a non-intrusive moisture detection system.
