Responsible Use of Control-IQ Technology
Even with advanced systems such as the t:slim X2 insulin pump with 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.
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 patients 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.
