Night Hawk is a bedwetting alarm which raises many questions.
Night Hawk refers to itself as being “wireless.” The nature of the alarm is such that the urine sensor is attached to and part of the alarm “box,” so that the entire alarm is placed at the urination area. Although there are no external wires connecting the sensor to the alarm (it is one unit), in standard electrical/electronic terminology “wireless” is commonly used to describe signal transmission through the propagation of electro-magnetic waves between a transmitter and a receiver. We think that Night Hawk’s use of the word “wireless” is misleading, as one cannot place any receiver away from the Night Hawk device and have the receiver trigger an alarm. This is deceit by perversion.
On its first web page, at the bottom, Night Hawk states that its Vibe power is 6.0 watts. This is completely meaningless to us, as Night Hawk provided no further explanation. We are assuming (and this may be false) that the Night Hawk provides strong vibrations. The same is true for the Buzzer Volume of 100dB*. We could find no explanation or reference point for the *. Although we really don’t know it as a fact, we very much doubt that a user, with his/her ears perhaps two feet away from this alarm, would hear 100dB sound levels. Night Hawk provides no clarifications. This is deceit by perversion and concealment.
We felt uncomfortable about the 100dB sound level for an alarm. If the volume at the ear was truly that, might this loud sound harm the hearing? We asked an audiologist, who said that anything louder than 85dB would be considered to be potentially harmful for the hearing.
We understand that Night Hawk recommends that this alarm be used with older patients. Although we prefer not to pass judgment on the working of an alarm, our senses do not find the idea of strong vibrations in genital areas appealing. We recognize that young adults may have a different opinion on the appeal of strong vibrations in the genital area, but such devices are usually called something other than a bedwetting alarm.
To get any understanding of how the alarm may be placed on the patient and used, we had to look at the instruction sheet which was provided. Here too, there was no information about size, weight, etc. But looking at the batteries used (2 AA Lithium batteries), we can imagine why Night Hawk does not say much about any physical characteristics, including the high cost of replacing these batteries.
There was very little factual information about the Night Hawk on its web site, other than the little that we have addressed. Perhaps there is not much worth talking about the Night Hawk.
