The Warrior Modular System offers several configurations, that are optimized to specific hospitals settings. For example, the Warrior Hybrid configuration, that provides both battery and AC power source options, typically serves Emergency Departments and Trauma Bays, while the Warrior AC configuration typically serves Operating Rooms and Intensive Care Units. All Warrior configurations utilize the same Compact Disposable Unit, thus facilitating patient handoff between settings and reducing costs (i.e., the same disposable travels with the patient to the next level of care). The Warrior's key benefits include high performance, immediate warming, unique bolus-flow handling capability, portability, simplicity of operations, nearly zero maintenance (5 years between service calls), and a complete continuum of care proposition, to name just a few.
