ZW279Pro Intelligent Incontinence Care Robot
The ZW279Pro represents Zuowei’s flagship intelligent nursing device, engineered to automate one of the most challenging aspects of elderly care—managing incontinence for bedridden patients. Through integrated smart sensing and a four-step automated cleaning cycle, the system delivers 24-hour unattended care while preserving patient dignity.
Product Overview
Developed by Shenzhen Zuowei Technology, the ZW279Pro addresses critical pain points in daily nursing care: difficulty in cleaning, infection risks, persistent odors, and the embarrassment experienced by both caregivers and patients. The robot transforms traditional manual care into fully automated robotic assistance, reducing caregiver workload while providing more consistent and hygienic care.
The system automatically detects when a patient urinates or defecates through a proprietary smart diaper sensor. Upon detection, the main unit immediately initiates extraction of waste into a dedicated sewage tank, followed by warm water cleaning, warm air drying, and thorough sterilization and deodorization.
Key Features
Smart Detection Technology: Proprietary sensing system integrated into specially designed diapers automatically identifies both solid and liquid waste, triggering immediate response without manual intervention.
Four-Step Cleaning Cycle:
- Waste extraction and collection into sealed sewage tank
- Warm water spray cleaning of private areas
- Warm air drying for patient comfort
- UV sterilization combined with negative ion purification and activated carbon deodorization
Intelligent Control System: ARM chip processor ensures fast and stable performance. Touch screen interface enables easy operation and convenient data viewing. Remote controller allows caregivers to manage the device from a distance.
Data Recording: Automatic logging of urination and defecation events supports health monitoring and provides documentation for medical records.
Air Quality Management: Triple-action air purification combining negative ion generation, UV sterilization, and activated carbon filtration eliminates odors and maintains a hygienic environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the ZW279Pro detect when a patient needs cleaning?
The system uses proprietary smart diapers with integrated sensors that automatically detect both liquid (urine) and solid (feces) waste. Upon detection, the robot immediately initiates the cleaning cycle without requiring manual activation or caregiver intervention.
How often does the sewage tank need emptying?
Under normal use, the sewage tank should be cleaned every 24 hours. The tank capacity is designed to accommodate typical daily waste output while maintaining sealed containment to prevent odor escape.
Is the ZW279Pro suitable for home use?
Yes, the ZW279Pro is designed for both institutional and home care settings. The user-friendly touch screen interface and remote controller make it accessible for family caregivers without medical training. The system operates continuously, allowing family members to maintain normal daily activities while ensuring patient care.
