Ringer

Physiological salt solution

A ringer is someone or something substituted deceptively—especially a skilled player secretly brought in to win a competition: They hired a ringer for the company softball game.

A ringer can also be someone who closely resembles another: He's a dead ringer for his father.

Separately, a ringer is anything that rings, like a bell or a phone's alert sound.
