How it Works
The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology uses continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)* values to predict glucose levels 30 minutes ahead and automatically adjust insulin every 5 minutes.
When the Exercise Activity is enabled, a tighter range of treatment values from 140-160 mg/dL is used when determining whether to decrease or increase basal insulin delivery, and a predicted value of 80 mg/dL is used when determining whether to stop basal insulin delivery.
FAQ
Q: Can the Exercise Timer duration be customized?
A: Yes, the Exercise Timer duration can be set from 30 minutes to 8 hours.
Q: How does the Exercise Activity adjust insulin delivery?
A: When the Exercise Activity is enabled, the t:slim X2 insulin pump uses a tighter range of treatment values to determine whether to decrease or increase basal insulin delivery. It also uses a predicted value to determine whether to stop basal insulin delivery.
Q: What age group is Control-IQ technology suitable for?
A: Control-IQ technology should not be used by anyone under the age of six years old.
Q: Are there any weight or insulin dosage restrictions for using Control-IQ technology?
A: Control-IQ technology should not be used in patients who require less than 10 units of insulin per day or who weigh less than 55 pounds.
Users can program their t:slim X2 insulin pump to automatically switch off the Exercise Activity by setting a custom duration with the Exercise timer.
From the Home screen, tap OPTIONS and then Activity.
Note: These instructions are provided as a reference tool for pump users and caregivers who are already familiar with the use of an insulin pump and with insulin therapy in general. Not all screens are shown. For more detailed information on the operation of the t:slim X2 pump, please refer to its user guide.
Tap Exercise
Note: Activities may not be enabled at the same time. If programmed, Sleep Schedule(s) will automatically start once Exercise is disabled.
Tap Set a Timer
Note: If the user does not program a timer, the Exercise Activity must be manually turned off.
Pump Tip: The default value for the Exercise timer duration is 30 minutes, or the pump will display the value from the last time Duration was set by the user.
Tap Duration to edit the timer duration. Otherwise, skip to step 6 to continue.
Use the keypad to enter the desired time. Tap to continue.
Tap START to turn on the Exercise Activity.
The EXERCISE STARTED screen will appear.
Exercise is now enabled and displays on the Home screen.
Note: The Exercise Activity will automatically be disabled once the set timer duration ends.
In addition to setting an Exercise Timer, the Exercise Activity can also be
manually turned on and off from the t:slim X2 insulin pump.

How it Works
The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology uses contin-uous glucose
monitoring (CGM)* values to predict glucose levels 30 minutes ahead and
automatically adjust insulin every 5 minutes.
When the Exercise Activity is enabled, a tighter range of treatment values
from 140-160 mg/dL is used when determining whether to decrease or increase
basal insulin delivery and a predicted value of 80 mg/dL is used when
determining whether to stop basal insulin delivery.

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.

Configuration Settings
-
Control-IQ technology must be on and CGM session must be active on the t:slim X2 insulin pump to start the Exercise Activity
-
Exercise will automatically be disabled if the Sleep Activity is enabled manually. Any enabled Sleep Schedules will not start until the Exercise Activity ends.
-
Automatic correction boluses ( ) will be delivered up to once per hour while the Exercise Activity is enabled*
-
If glucose values are predicted to be above 180 mg/dL, Control-IQ technology calculates a correction bolus using ettings 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 canceled.
Responsible Use of Control-IQ Technology
Control-IQ technology does not prevent all high and low blood glucose events,
and is not a substitute for meal boluses and active self-management of your
diabetes. Control-IQ technology will not be able to predict sensor glucose
values and adjust insulin dosing if your CGM is not working properly or is
unable to communicate with your pump. Always pay attention to your symptoms
and blood glu-cose levels and treat accordingly. Please visit
