Malem ultimate bed wetting alarm was used correctly by pt, but the alarm developed a defect and injured pt.The back side of the alarm and the battery compartment have deformed from excess heat generated by the batteries shorting out while child was sleeping.The alarm was too hot to operate and burnt pt's neck while sleep.The burns were not significant, but were noteworthy of being reported as it could have been worse if pt had not removed alarm on time.Pt has small scars, typical of minor burns and blisters on the area which was in contact with pt.They should heal in 2 - 5 days.
