Rivacor 7 VR-T / DR-T
Improving treatment and reducing risk for up to 15 years1
For patients with arrhythmias, ICD therapy can be an essential safety net, where it’s vital to minimize risk and improve quality of life in the long term. This is what the all-new, smaller and simpler Rivacor 7 ICD systems are engineered to do for up to 15 years1 — optimizing therapy when and where it matters. When used with Home Monitoring® technology, AF can be detected earlier2 and both inappropriate shocks and hospitalization rates can be reduced3. And this has been clinically proven.
