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 Activity and Exercise Activity, 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.^†

Technology You’re Used To

Our easy-to-use system feels a bit like a smartphone, with a colour touchscreen and software updates. The t:simulator app is a free, virtual pump demo that lets you test drive the touchscreen and pump interface.

Responsible Use of Control‑IQ Technology

Even with advanced systems such as Control-IQ technology, users are still responsible for actively managing their 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 that users accurately input information, such as meals and periods of sleep or exercise. Control-IQ technology will not function as intended unless all system components, including CGM, infusion sets and pump cartridges, are used as instructed. Importantly, the system cannot adjust 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, users should always pay attention to their symptoms and treat accordingly.

* Dexcom CGM sold separately.

† Users must still bolus for meals and actively manage their diabetes. 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.

‡ 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.

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 6 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, Trurapi, 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 6 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. If your CGM readings do not match your symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions. The t:slim X2 pump must be removed before MRI, CT, or diathermy treatment. Visit tandemdiabetes.com/safetyinfo for additional important safety information.
