Rivacor 7 VR-T / DR-T

BIOshape. Ultraslim 10mm ICD

Rivacor ICDs are small and slim — only 10mm from front to back — with a smooth, elliptical, and body-friendly BIOshape.

  • Rivacor ICDs are the smallest, slimmest devices that are approved for 3T full-body MRI scans.

BIOshape eases implantation and reduces skin pressure.  It helps to lower the risk of skin erosion while increasing patient comfort.

  • The smooth, elliptical form facilitates insertion procedures. On average, four out of five implanting physicians rated ‘ease of device insertion’ and ‘securing in the pocket’ as ‘better’ or even ‘much better’ than with preceding models.
  • Thinner design and rounded edges reduce skin pressure and help to lower the risk of skin erosion.
  • Over 90% of implanting physicians rated ‘patient comfort’ as ‘better’ or even ‘much better’ in comparison to previous models.

15 Years Longevity. 10 Years Warranty

Rivacor ICDs have an extended battery life of up to 15 years, supported by a full 10-year warranty.

  • Rivacor ICDs live up to 15 years and are the smallest, slimmest 3T FBS devices that live that long.
  • Extended warranty reduces financial risk for implanting clinics, as fewer devices for replacement procedures will need to be purchased.

This can lead to fewer box replacements and fewer procedures for patients, reducing risks, complications and costs.

  • Fewer replacements means less distress for patients. The higher the remaining life expectancy, the more device replacements avoided.
  • A lower number of required replacements also means lower risk of infection.
  • Fewer replacements also means reduced procedure costs. At the same time, complication-related costs can be avoided by reducing risks resulting from replacements. The higher the patient’s life expectancy is at implantation, the higher the potential cost savings.

DX Technology

All these benefits are also available with unique DX Technology that provides complete atrial diagnostics with a single lead.

  • With DX ICDs, almost four times more likely to detect AT/AF than with a standard single-chamber ICD.
  • Reliable detection and transmission of atrial high-rate episodes (AHRE) with clinically relevant duration (for AHRE ≥1 hour, positive predictive value [PPV] >99.7%).
  • Correct estimation of AF burden with reliable classification of AHRE episodes by their duration.
  • Incidence of oral anticoagulation (OAC) prescription onset tends to be higher with DX ICDs compared to standard single-chamber ICDs.

Full 3T MRI. Autodetected

All Rivacor devices feature ProMRI®, which gives full and uncompromised access to high-resolution MRI, with full-body scanning and no exclusion zone.

  • 3 Tesla MRI offers the best image quality, required for example for neuroimaging. This standard significantly reduces scanning time and increases hospital efficiency.
  • Full-body MRI means no exclusion zone and hence allows for the assessment of the cardiac anatomy, function and mass.

MRI AutoDetect senses MRI environments and self-adjusts, suspending tachycardia therapy for the duration of the scan only. This can be activated with a single visit to the physician and has a 14-day window for planning.

  • MRI AutoDetect is a sensor-based technology that ensures optimal therapy and simplifies workflows in MRI.
  • Upon activation, MRI AutoDetect automatically recognizes an MR environment for up to 14 days. It provides the shortest time in MRI mode possible by automatically switching in and out of MRI mode. This minimizes tachycardia therapy suspension to the duration of the actual scan.
  • MRI AutoDetect can be active for up to 14 days, allowing for multiple scans and scheduling flexibility regarding time and location. It provides a complete Home Monitoring report after the scan, meaning only one in-office visit is required.
