    More Life. Made Simpler.

    Simplified and optimized CRT for up to 9 years1

    Heart failure is tough to live with and can be complex and time-consuming to treat and manage. It’s these real life challenges that Rivacor 3 CRT-D systems are engineered to deal with. These new and smaller systems simplify treatment and therapy for up to 9 years1, and when used with BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring technology, they have been clinically proven to help prolong life further30.

    BIOshape Ultraslim Icon

    BIOshape. Ultraslim 10 mm ICD.

    Rivacor CRT-Ds are small and slim — only 10 mm from front to back — with a smooth, elliptical, and body-friendly BIOshape1.

    • Rivacor CRT-Ds are the smallest, slimmest devices that are approved for 3T full-body MRI scans2. 

    BIOshape eases implantation and reduces skin pressure.3,4 
    It helps to lower the risk of skin erosion while increasing patient comfort5.

    • 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 models6.
    • Thinner design and rounded edges reduce skin pressure7 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 with previous models8.

    9 Years Longevity. 6 Years Warranty.

    Rivacor CRT-Ds have an extended battery life of 9 years9, supported by a full 6-year warranty.

    • Rivacor CRT-Ds live up to 9 years and are the smallest, slimmest 3T FBS devices that live that long10.
    • 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.

    • For CRT patients, who already face a higher risk burden, increased device longevity can reduce the number of replacements. These patients are exposed to higher risk of complication than single- or dual-chamber ICD patients11.
    • Saving a replacement can lead to lower risk and less distress for CRT patients.
    • Fewer replacements means reduced procedure costs. At the same time, complication-related costs can be avoided by reducing risks resulting from replacements.
    Full 3T MRI. Autodetected.

    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.12

    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 through 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 required13.

    More Than 60% Mortality Reduction

    Heart failure is a serious and progressive condition that puts CRT patients at risk in multiple ways. For these patients, AF is a common cause for loss of CRT pacing, while hospitalization for decompensation is a frequent concern. Therefore, clinical guidelines recommend close multiparameter monitoring, because time is of the essence.

    When CRT-Ds are used with BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring, life can be further prolonged with a clinically-proven > 60% reduction in all-cause mortality14.

    • Early detection of clinically relevant events through BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring enables early intervention.15
    • The IN-TIME trial shows that all-cause mortality can be reduced by > 60%.[16] This outcome can be achieved by following the IN-TIME protocol, based on daily transmissions.
    • BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring can be easily programmed to IN-TIME settings, enabling 28 alerts with the click of a button. This avoids the hassle of manually adjusting the alert settings to trigger ‘IN-TIME events’.
    Icon Plug and go BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring

    BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring

    Home Monitoring works via a smartphone-size, ‘plug in and go’ CardioMessenger Smart mobile unit, which is quick and easy to use17 and transmits data without any patient involvement.

    • BIOTRONIK's 'plug in and go' solution allows for user-friendly system initialization. Data transmission is completely automatic, not requiring any active patient involvement18
      , while the smartphone-sized CardioMessenger Smart transmitter makes BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring a mobile system.
    • Daily, system-based transmission checks allow for industry-leading transmission success rates of 85%.19, 20
    • 99% of patients agree that BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring is easy to use, while 98% express their complete satisfaction with the system.21
