You may not be able to turn on the mobile connection for the Tandem t:slim X2 pump's Bluetooth because your pump software may be outdated. If the "Bluetooth Settings" or "Mobile Connection" toggle is grayed out or unresponsive, you should log in to your Tandem Source account and update the pump's software. Also, Bluetooth settings may be restricted in certain regions like New Zealand, which could affect availability.

CHAPTER 31 • Control-IQ Technology Alerts 31.1 Out of Range Alert – Control-IQ Technology Off Screen Explanation What will I see on the screen? The transmitter and pump are not communicating. The pump will What does it mean? not receive sensor glucose readings, and Control-IQ technology is not able to predict sensor glucose levels or adjust insulin delivery.
CHAPTER 31 • Control-IQ Technology Alerts 31.2 Out of Range Alert – Control-IQ Technology On Screen Explanation What will I see on the screen? Control-IQ technology is turned on, but the transmitter and pump are not communicating. The pump will not receive sensor glucose readings.
CHAPTER 31 • Control-IQ Technology Alerts 31.3 Control-IQ Technology Low Alert Screen Explanation What will I see on the screen? Control-IQ Low Alert has predicted that your sensor glucose reading What does it mean? will drop below 70 mg/dL, or below 80 mg/dL if Exercise is enabled, in the next 15 minutes.
CHAPTER 31 • Control-IQ Technology Alerts 31.4 Control-IQ High Alert Screen Explanation What will I see on the screen? Control-IQ technology has increased insulin delivery, but detects a What does it mean? sensor glucose reading above 200 mg/dL and does not predict that the sensor glucose reading will decrease in the next 30 minutes.
CHAPTER 31 • Control-IQ Technology Alerts 31.5 Max Insulin Alert Screen Explanation What will I see on the screen? The pump has delivered the maximum allowable 2 hour insulin amount based on your Total Daily Insulin setting. You see this alert when Control-IQ technology has delivered 50% of your Total Daily Insulin (through basal and/or bolus deliveries) over the previous What does it mean?

Basal Delivery To assess basal delivery accuracy, 32 t:slim X2 pumps were tested by delivering at low, medium, and high basal rates (0.1, 2.0, and 15 U/hr). Sixteen of the pumps were new, and 16 had been aged to simulate four years of regular use. For both aged and unaged pumps, eight pumps were tested with a new cartridge, and eight with a cartridge which underwent two years of real time aging.

Bolus Delivery To assess bolus delivery accuracy, 32 t:slim X2 pumps were tested by delivering consecutive low, medium, and high bolus volumes (0.05, 2.5, and 25 units). Sixteen of the pumps were new, and 16 had been aged to simulate four years of regular use. For both aged and unaged pumps, eight pumps were tested with a new cartridge, and eight with a cartridge which underwent two years of real time aging.

Questions and answers
My tslim pump won't let me turn on allow mobile connection under the pumps bluetooth. the option is there but it is turned off and cannot be turned on. It is updated to the most recent 7.7 software version and i want to connect it to the app
You may not be able to turn on the mobile connection for the Tandem t:slim X2 pump's Bluetooth because your pump software may be outdated. If the "Bluetooth Settings" or "Mobile Connection" toggle is grayed out or unresponsive, you should log in to your Tandem Source account and update the pump's software. Also, Bluetooth settings may be restricted in certain regions like New Zealand, which could affect availability.
