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be able to turn on the mobile connection for the Tandem t:slim X2 pump's Bluetooth because your pump software may be outdated.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.

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.
