This is the second time this particular brand of nocturnal alarm has an adverse effect on the pt.I have prescribed nocturnal enuresis alarms in conjunction with ddavp.In the last 2 months, this is the second time the malem brand of enuresis alarms has overheated and plastic housing melted while pt was wearing the alarm in sleep.Pt has recorded child put on a alarm and within few hours, the alarm overheated and started fuming.Confused child removed the alarm before severe damage.The child has only suffered minor burn injuries, which is consistent with the other recorded case.I had prescribed this alarm to the parent and several others.I routinely prescribe nocturnal anuresis alarms to my pts and this was probably prescribed in early (b)(6) 2016.
