## Intended Use

SIM™ (Smart Incontinence Management) is indicated for use by healthcare professionals to remotely monitor wetness events, and collect, transmit and report wetness events and other medical information from multiple patients within a clinical setting (e.g., hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, residential care facilities), to establish effective management care plans for continence events.

## Device Story

SIM™ system monitors patient wetness events in clinical settings. System components: disposable incontinence pads with embedded sensors, wireless transceiver, hardware, and software.

Healthcare professionals use output to track incontinence events and establish individualized care plans. System enables remote monitoring of multiple patients simultaneously, facilitating efficient management of continence care in facilities like hospitals and nursing homes.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device underwent biocompatibility, electrical safety, electromagnetic safety, and standard performance testing for medical/IT equipment. Results confirmed device functioned as intended.

## Technological Characteristics

System includes disposable incontinence pads with embedded sensors, wireless transceiver, hardware, and software. Operates via wireless data transmission. Subjected to standard electrical and electromagnetic safety testing.

## Regulatory Identification

An enuresis alarm is a device intended for use in treatment of bedwetting. Through an electrical trigger mechanism, the device sounds an alarm when a small quantity of urine is detected on a sensing pad. This generic type of device includes conditioned response enuresis alarms.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 876.9.

## Predicate Devices

- Remote A'Lert ([K943559](/device/K943559.md))
