Control-Iq Technology Overview; How Control-Iq Technology Works - Tandem t:slim X2 User Manual

CHAPTER 29 • Introduction to Control-IQ Technology
29.1 Control-IQ Technology
Overview
Control-IQ™ technology is a feature of
the t:slim X2™ pump that automatically
adjusts insulin delivery rates and
amounts in response to readings from a
CGM. The pump can be used with or
without Control-IQ technology enabled.
The following sections describe how
Control-IQ technology works and how it
responds to CGM values while you are
awake, sleeping, and exercising.
PRECAUTION
You must continue to take boluses to cover food
eaten or to correct a high sensor glucose value.
Read all Control-IQ technology instructions
before activating Control-IQ technology.
NOTE
Target CGM Ranges: The target CGM ranges
used by Control-IQ technology are not
customizable.
NOTE
Control-IQ Technology and Temp Basal Rate:
Before activating a Temp Rate (see Section 5.9
Starting a Temporary Basal Rate), you must turn
off Control-IQ technology.

NOTE
Insulin On Board (IOB) Time Remaining: The
Insulin On Board (IOB) Time Remaining, which
indicates how long the total units of insulin from
food and correction boluses will be active in the
body, is not displayed when Control-IQ
technology is enabled due to the variability of
insulin delivery when automatically responding
to CGM values. The IOB units will always be
displayed on the Home and Lock screens.
29.2 How Control-IQ Technology
Works
WARNING
Control-IQ technology is not a substitute for
understanding and being ready at any time to
take over manual control of your current or
future diabetes therapy.
WARNING
Control-IQ technology is not designed to prevent
all hypoglycemia (low BG) or hyperglycemia
(high BG).
WARNING
Control-IQ technology adjusts the delivery of
insulin, but does not treat low BG. Always pay
attention to your symptoms, manage your BG
level, and treat according to the
recommendations of your healthcare provider.
WARNING
Do not use Control-IQ technology unless
recommended by your healthcare provider.
WARNING
Do not use Control-IQ technology until you have
received training.
WARNING
Control-IQ technology relies on current CGM
sensor readings and will not be able to
accurately predict BG levels and adjust insulin
delivery if for any reason your CGM is not
functioning properly, or does not transmit three
of the last four sensor values to your pump.
PRECAUTION
We recommend that you enable the High
Glucose Alert and the Low Glucose Alert when
using Control-IQ technology so that you will be
notified if sensor glucose readings are outside of
your target range, and you can treat high or low
BG according to your healthcare provider's
recommendations.
Control-IQ technology responds to the
actual CGM readings as well as
