Responsible Use Of Control-Iq Technology - Tandem t:slim X2 User Manual

CHAPTER 28 • Getting to Know Control-IQ Technology
28.1 Responsible Use of Control-IQ
Technology
Systems like the t:slim X2 insulin pump
with Control-IQ™ technology are not
substitutes for the active management
of diabetes, including manually bolusing
for meals. There are common scenarios
in which automated systems cannot
prevent a hypoglycemic event.
Control-IQ technology relies on current
CGM sensor readings to function and
will not be able to predict sensor
glucose values and suspend insulin
delivery if a patient's CGM is not
functioning properly or their pump is
unable to receive the CGM signal.
Patients should be instructed to always
use the components of the pump
system (pump, cartridges, CGM, and
infusion sets) according to the
applicable instructions for use and
check them regularly to make sure they
are functioning as expected. Patients
should always pay attention to their
sensor glucose values, actively monitor
and manage BG, and treat accordingly.
