t:slim X2 Insulin Pump for Kids | Tandem Diabetes Care

Kids want a say when it comes to choosing how to manage their diabetes. We’ve made that choice easier for them and their parents.

The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control‑IQ technology helps keep diabetes under control, offering more freedom for kids and greater peace of mind for their parents. Here are a few things to talk about when having a conversation about getting started with Control-IQ technology.

Flexibility to Disconnect

It’s easy to temporarily disconnect the t:slim X2 pump from an infusion set for showering or sports. Using data from Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM),* kids can quickly see where they’re trending, and reconnect their pump in a snap.

A Predictive Algorithm

Control-IQ technology predicts glucose levels 30 minutes in advance and automates insulin dosing. It’s been shown to increase time in range, as measured by CGM, which means more time to just be a kid, and greater peace of mind for parents.

Rest Easier

The t:slim X2 pump with Control-IQ technology can turn insulin delivery on and off as often as every five minutes. This helps reduce the need to wake up at night to check numbers and correct a low, helping improve everyone’s nights and mornings.

Customize Profiles

Programmable profiles, as well as optional settings for Sleep Activities and Exercise Activities, let kids be kids. Plus, the t:slim X2 insulin pump fits easily into a small pocket or pouch to keep up with kids on the move.

Comfort of Control

Managing diabetes can feel like your brain is working overtime. Relax knowing that our insulin delivery system includes automatic correction boluses when needed, to help kids better control their diabetes.^†

Let's Get Started

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. Because 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.

* Dexcom CGM sold separately.

† Users must still bolus for meals and actively manage their diabetes. If glucose values are predicted to be above 180 mg/dL, Control-IQ technology calculates a correction bolus using the Personal Profile settings and a target of 110 mg/dL 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.

§ Zero fingersticks required when using the t:slim X2 pump with Dexcom G6 CGM integration. If glucose alerts and CGM readings do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.

Important Safety Information

RX ONLY. The t:slim X2 pump and Control-IQ technology are intended for single patient use. The t:slim X2 pump and Control-IQ technology are indicated for use with U-100 insulin only. t:slim X2 insulin pump: The t:slim X2 insulin pump with interoperable technology is an alternate controller enabled (ACE) pump that is intended for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in people requiring insulin. The pump is able to reliably and securely communicate with compatible, digitally connected devices, including automated insulin dosing software, to receive, execute, and confirm commands from these devices. The t:slim X2 pump is indicated for use in individuals six years of age and greater. Control-IQ technology: Control-IQ technology is intended for use with a compatible integrated continuous glucose monitor (iCGM, sold separately) and ACE pump to automatically increase, decrease, and suspend delivery of basal insulin based on iCGM readings and predicted glucose values. It can also deliver correction boluses when the glucose value is predicted to exceed a predefined threshold. Control-IQ technology is intended for the management of Type 1 diabetes mellitus in persons six years of age and greater.

Warning: Control-IQ technology should not be used by anyone under the age of six years old. It should also not be used in patients who require less than 10 units of insulin per day or who weigh less than 55 pounds.

Control-IQ technology is not indicated for use in pregnant women, people on dialysis, or critically ill patients. Do not use Control-IQ technology if using hydroxyurea. Users of the t:slim X2 pump and Control-IQ technology must: 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.
