A monitoring device for detecting wetness in a garment is disclosed. The monitoring device of the present disclosure includes a clip removably attachable to the garment and having a printed circuit board and a plurality of pins in communication with the printed circuit board, a portion of the plurality of pins extending through a portion of the clip, wherein the plurality of pins include a first pin, a second pin, and a third pin, the first pin and the second pin aligned along a first axis of the clip and the third pin aligned along a second axis of the clip, the second axis spaced from the first axis, wherein, with the clip attached to the garment, the printed circuit board is in communication with the garment via the plurality of pins. Transmitters having built-in delay mechanisms configured to delay transmitting operational data for a period of time are disclosed.

A monitoring device for detecting wetness in a garment is disclosed. The monitoring device of the present disclosure includes a clip removably attachable to the garment and having a printed circuit board and a plurality of pins in communication with the printed circuit board, a portion of the plurality of pins extending through a portion of the clip, wherein the plurality of pins include a first pin, a second pin, and a third pin, the first pin and the second pin aligned along a first axis of the clip and the third pin aligned along a second axis of the clip, the second axis spaced from the first axis, wherein, with the clip attached to the garment, the printed circuit board is in communication with the garment via the plurality of pins. Transmitters having built-in delay mechanisms configured to delay transmitting operational data for a period of time are also disclosed. The operational data may include moisture data and detachment information. Methods for determining operational data for a monitoring device for detecting wetness in a garment are also disclosed.

A monitoring device for detecting wetness in a garment is disclosed. The monitoring device of the present disclosure includes a locking mechanism that slides back and forth relative to a clip that is removably attachable to a garment between a first position in which the locking mechanism locks the clip in a closed position and a second position in which the clip is in an open position. As the locking mechanism transitions from the first position to the second position, the locking mechanism opens the clip. Advantageously, the monitoring device of the present disclosure allows a caregiver to align and secure the monitoring device to a garment using only one hand.
