We have received a complaint that a (b)(6) girl was injured during sleep while using an enuresis alarm.The alarm was prescribed by the pharmacist and purchased by parents.The cause of injury is malfunction of the alarm during normal use.There appears nothing wrong with the way the device was used, but the cause of injury is attributed to the alarm malfunctioning and overheating.Device shorted out causing excess heat and battery leak on child¿s body.The child was diagnosed in our clinic and has been instructed to discontinue treatment with the alarm.The alarm has been returned back to our clinic and is available for evaluation.Parents wish not to have their personal details revealed.
