Control-IQ Technology | tslim X2 Insulin Pump

Trying to keep your blood sugar in range can be stressful and time consuming. Our Control-IQ advanced hybrid closed-loop technology makes it easier by predicting and helping to prevent highs and lows.

Automatic Insulin Adjustments

The system automatically adjusts insulin levels based on Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) readings (sold separately).*

Control-IQ Technology Decreasing Basal

Correction Boluses

Control-IQ™ technology can also deliver automatic correction boluses (up to one an hour) to help prevent hyperglycemia.^†

Activity Settings

Control-IQ technology includes optional settings for Sleep and Exercise that adjust the range of treatment values for more control.

How it works

The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control‑IQ technology is designed to help increase time in range (3.9-10.0 mmol/L)^‡ using Dexcom G6 CGM values to predict glucose levels 30 minutes ahead and adjust insulin delivery accordingly.

Control-IQ Status Icons

Icons display on the pump screen to visually indicate when insulin delivery is increasing, decreasing, or stopped. Please refer to the table for a breakdown of status icons.

Zero Fingersticks

Dexcom G6 CGM integration with the t:slim X2 pump provides exceptional accuracy³ for optimized insulin delivery. Dexcom G6 is the first real-time, integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) system requiring zero fingersticks for calibration or mealtime dosing.^§

§ If your glucose alerts and readings from the G6 do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.

Kid-friendly pump

We understand that you want your kid to enjoy all the wonderful parts of growing up instead of being burdened by constantly worrying about their diabetes. The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology operates in the background without needing constant input or interaction, so your kid can be a kid.

So what's next?

We will coordinate with your healthcare provider and/or local diabetes education center to help set you up with an insulin pump today.

Responsible Use of Control‑IQ Technology

Even with advanced systems such as the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology, you are still responsible for actively managing your diabetes. Control-IQ technology does not prevent all high and low blood glucose events. The system is designed to help reduce glucose variability, but it requires your accurate input of information, such as meals and periods of sleep or exercise. Control-IQ technology will not function as intended unless you use all system components, including your CGM, infusion sets and pump cartridges, as instructed. Importantly, the system cannot adjust your insulin dosing if the pump is not receiving CGM readings. Since there are situations and emergencies that the system may not be capable of identifying or addressing, always pay attention to your symptoms and treat according to your healthcare provider’s recommendations.

* The Dexcom transmitter can only be paired with one medical device (either a Dexcom receiver or t:slim X2 insulin pump) and one consumer device (phone or tablet) at the same time.
† If glucose values are predicted to be above 10.0 mmol/L, Control-IQ technology calculates a correction bolus using the Personal Profile settings and a target of 6.1 mmol/L and delivers 60% of that value. An Automatic Correction Bolus will not occur within 60 minutes of a bolus that has been delivered or cancelled.
‡ As measured by CGM.
§ If your glucose alerts and readings from the G6 do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.

Important Safety Information

The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology (the System) consists of the t:slim X2 insulin pump, which contains Control-IQ technology, and a compatible continuous glucose monitor (CGM, sold separately). The t:slim X2 insulin pump is intended for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in people requiring insulin. The t:slim X2 insulin pump can be used solely for continuous insulin delivery and as part of the System. When used with a compatible CGM, the System can be used to automatically increase, decrease, and suspend delivery of basal insulin based on CGM sensor readings and predicted glucose values. The System can also deliver correction boluses when the glucose value is predicted to exceed a predefined threshold. The pump and the System are indicated for use in individuals six years of age and greater. The pump and the System are intended for single user use. The pump and the System are indicated for use with NovoRapid or Humalog U-100 insulin. The System is intended for the management of Type 1 diabetes.

WARNING: Control-IQ technology should not be used by anyone under the age of six years old. It should also not be used in users who require less than 10 units of insulin per day or who weigh less than 25 kilograms.

The System is not indicated for use in pregnant women, people on dialysis, or critically ill users. Do not use the System if using hydroxyurea. Users of the pump and the System must: be willing and able to use the insulin pump, CGM, and all other system components in accordance with their respective instructions for use; test blood glucose levels as recommended by their healthcare provider; demonstrate adequate carb-counting skills; maintain sufficient diabetes self-care skills; see healthcare provider(s) regularly; and have adequate vision and/or hearing to recognize all functions of the pump, including alerts, alarms, and reminders. The t:slim X2 pump and the CGM transmitter and sensor must be removed before MRI, CT, or diathermy treatment. Visit tandemdiabetes.com/safetyinfo for additional important safety information.
