Chapter 31 – Taking Care of Your System

31.1 Overview

This section provides information on
caring for and maintaining your System.
Cleaning Your System
When cleaning your t:slim X2 Pump,
use a damp lint-free cloth. Do not use
household or industrial cleaners, sol-
vents, bleach, scouring pads, chemi-
cals, or sharp instruments. Never sub-
merge the pump in water or use any
other liquid to clean it. Do not place the
pump in the dishwasher or use hot
water to clean it. If needed, use only a
very mild detergent, such as a bit of liq-
uid soap with warm water. When drying
your pump, use a soft towel; never
place your pump in a microwave oven
or baking oven to dry it.
Wipe the outside of the transmitter with
a damp lint-free cloth or isopropyl alco-
hol wipe between uses.

Inspecting Your System for Damage
PRECAUTION
DO NOT use your pump if you think it might be
damaged due to dropping it or hitting it against
a hard surface. Check that the System is work-
ing properly by plugging a power source into the
USB port and confirming that the display turns
on, you hear audible beeps, feel the pump
vibrate, and see the green LED light blinking
around the edge of the Screen On Button. If you
are unsure about potential damage, discontinue
use of the System and contact Tandem Diabetes
Care Customer Technical Support at (877) 801-
6901.
If you drop your t:slim X2 Pump or it
has been hit against something hard,
ensure that it is still working properly.
Check that the touch screen is working
and clear, and that the cartridge and
infusion set are properly in place. Check
for leaks around the cartridge and at
the tubing connector to the infusion set.
Immediately contact Tandem Diabetes
Care Customer Technical Support at
(877) 801-6901 if you notice any
cracks, chips, or other damage.
If your transmitter is damaged or
cracked, do not use it. Immediately
contact Tandem Diabetes Care Cus-
tomer Technical Support at (877) 801-
6901 if you notice any cracks or other
damage.
Do not use the sensor if its sterile pack-
age has been damaged or opened.
Storing Your System
If you need to stop using your t:slim X2
Pump for a long period of time, you can
place the pump in storage mode. To
place the pump in storage mode, con-
nect the pump to a power source and
then press and hold down the Screen
On/Quick Bolus Button for 25 seconds.
The pump will beep 3 times before
going into storage mode. Disconnect
the pump from the power source.
Keep the pump protected when not in
use. Store at temperatures between
-4°F and 140°F and at relative humidity
levels between 20% and 90%.
To bring the pump out of storage
mode, simply connect the pump to a
power source.
