Which device model is the Rivacor DR-T described as in the source material?

• A. Biotronik ICD
• B. External defibrillator
• C. Pacemaker
• D. Loop recorder

Answer: (A)

Rivacor DR-T is described as a Biotronik implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. The Rivacor line is Biotronik’s family of implantable cardiac devices, and the DR-T designation typically indicates a dual-chamber implant with defibrillation capability. An ICD is designed to detect dangerous ventricular arrhythmias and deliver therapy, such as pacing or a shock, to restore a safe rhythm. That matches how the Rivacor DR-T is presented in the source. The other options don’t fit because an external defibrillator is non-implanted, a pacemaker provides pacing without defibrillation, and a loop recorder is a monitoring device, not a therapeutic device.
