General

The Warrior line of products is composed of 3 sub product lines: (i) the Warrior lite line, (ii) the Warrior line, and (iii) the Warrior EXTREME line. Each of these sub product line is offered in a battery-powered, AC-powered, and hybrid configurations (i.e. battery and AC power sources). The figure below illustrates the various configurations. 

Warrior lite line:

The portable battery-powered Warrior lite is designed for space and weight constrained civil and military rescue gears at the point of injury or during critical care transports. For optimal operational fit, 2 battery options are offered: the small (aka “lite”) battery and the large (aka “Extra Power”) battery. The AC-operable Warrior lite, also known as Warrior lite AC, is designed primarily for Surgery and ICU departments, where portability is typically not demanded. When portability within the hospital is required, as is often the case for Emergency and Trauma Departments, the Warrior lite Hybrid is proposed. This latter configuration allows users to power the device from an electrical outlet or use it with battery during interfacility or intra-facility transports. Switching from portable mode to AC mode (and vice versa) is very simple and can be accomplished in seconds.

Warrior line:

The Warrior line offers higher performance than the Warrior lite line. This comes with a larger form factor and higher weight. The portable battery-powered Warrior is designed for mid- and long-haul transports. The AC-operable Warrior, also known as Warrior AC, is designed primarily for Surgery and ICU departments, where portability is typically not demanded. When portability within the hospital is required, as is often the case for Emergency and Trauma Departments, the Warrior Hybrid is proposed. This latter configuration allows users to power the device from an electrical outlet or use it with battery during interfacility or intra-facility transports. Switching from portable mode to AC mode (and vice versa) is very simple and can be accomplished in seconds.

Warrior EXTREME line:

The Warrior EXTREME is the DOD-ready Base Unit (BU) version of the Warrior. Key similarities and differences with between the Warrior BU and the EXTREME BU include the following:

  • Same Form Factor: the Warrior EXTREME Base Unit has the same form factor that the Warrior version has yet it includes several enhancements (below)
  • Minor Color Difference: the only visual difference between both versions is that the silver color does not appear on the Warrior EXTREME
  • Enhanced Environmental Resilience of the Warrior EXTREME: the key enhancements of the Warrior EXTREME are that it is compliant with MIL-STD 461G RE102 and RS103 and it has higher IP rating (IP56 vs. IP33)
  • No Performance Difference!
  • Same Consumables and Accessories!

All Warrior configurations above use the same Compact Disposable Unit (or CDU); thus, allowing for immediate patients’ handoff between setting at a reduced cost of ownership.
