Basal-IQ Technology | Tandem Diabetes Care

When life gets busy, the fear of going low can really get in your way. Our Basal-IQ predictive low-glucose suspend technology can help you spend less time worrying about lows and more time living your life.

Responsive Insulin Delivery

The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal‑IQ technology predicts and helps prevent lows. It can turn insulin delivery on and off as often as every five minutes.

Works Silently in the Background

No added alerts or alarms beyond standard continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and pump notifications.

Less Time Low

Relative reduction in sensor time below 3.9 mmol/L when clinical study participants used the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal-IQ technology.¹

Felt Very Confident

Percent of clinical study participants who said they felt very confident using the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal‑IQ technology.¹

Said it's Easy to Use

Percent of clinical study participants who said the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal-IQ technology was easy to use.¹

How it Works

Basal-IQ technology uses CGM values* to help reduce the frequency and duration of low-glucose events by predicting glucose levels 30 minutes ahead and suspending insulin if they are expected to drop below 4.4 mmol/L. Insulin delivery resumes as soon as glucose values begin to rise.

No Routine Fingersticks

Dexcom G6 CGM integration with the t:slim X2 pump provides exceptional accuracy for optimized insulin delivery.² Dexcom G6 is the first real-time, integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) system requiring no routine fingersticks for calibration or mealtime dosing.^†

Remote Software Updates

The t:slim X2 is the first insulin pump capable of remote feature updates. Using a personal computer, you can keep your in-warranty pump up to date with the latest technology.^‡

Responsible Use of Basal-IQ Technology

Systems like the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal-IQ technology are not substitutes for active diabetes management, as there are common scenarios in which automated systems cannot prevent hypoglycemia. The Basal-IQ feature relies on continuous CGM readings and will not be able to predict glucose levels and suspend insulin delivery if your CGM is not working properly or is unable to communicate with your pump. Be sure to always use your pump, cartridges, CGM, and infusion sets as instructed and check them regularly to make sure they are working properly. Always pay attention to your symptoms, actively monitor your glucose levels, and treat according to your healthcare provider’s recommendations.

* Dexcom CGM sold separately.

† No routine 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.

‡ Additional feature updates may not be currently available for the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal-IQ technology and are subject to regulatory approvals. Future updates for some or all of Tandem's products may not be developed and may not be offered everywhere. Software updates are only available to customers who are in warranty at the time they update their pump, and may require a prescription and additional training. Charges may apply. Tandem may discontinue select software and features over time at its discretion.

Important Safety Information

The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal-IQ technology (the System) consists of the t:slim X2 insulin pump, which contains Basal-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 suspend insulin delivery based on CGM sensor readings. 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, Admelog, or Humalog U-100 insulin. The System is not indicated for use in pregnant women, people on dialysis, or critically ill users. 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. 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.
