6.3 Filling and Loading a t:slim
Cartridge
This section describes how to fill the
cartridge with insulin and load the
cartridge into your t:slim X2 pump. The
single-use disposable cartridge can
hold up to 300 units (3.0 mL) of insulin.
WARNING
ONLY use U-100 Humalog or NovoLog with your
pump. Only U-100 Humalog and NovoLog have
been tested and found to be compatible for use
in the pump. Use of insulin with lesser or greater
concentration can result in under delivery or
over delivery of insulin. This can cause
hypoglycemia (low BG) or hyperglycemia (high
BG) events.
WARNING
ALWAYS use cartridges manufactured by
Tandem Diabetes Care. Use of any other
cartridge brand may result in over delivery or
under delivery of insulin. This can cause
82
hypoglycemia (low BG) or hyperglycemia (high
BG) events.
WARNING
DO NOT reuse cartridges. Reuse of cartridges
may result in over delivery or under delivery of
insulin. This can cause hypoglycemia (low BG)
or hyperglycemia (high BG) events.
Before you begin, make sure you have
the following items:
• 1 unopened cartridge
• 3.0 mL syringe and fill needle
• vial of U-100 Humalog or U-100
NovoLog insulin
• alcohol prep swab
• 1 new infusion set
• infusion set instructions for use
NOTE
Fill Tubing Sound Volume: The pump will beep
or vibrate, depending on your pump settings,
while the tubing is filling with insulin. To change
the Fill Tubing sound setting, see Section 4.14
Sound Volume.
NOTE
Removing the Cartridge: DO NOT remove the
used cartridge from the pump during the load
process until prompted on the pump screen.
NOTE
Control-IQ Technology While Filling
Cartridge: Control-IQ technology will continue
to make calculations based on CGM values
while the cartridge is being filled. Since there is
no insulin delivered during the cartridge fill
process, there will be no actual basal rate
adjustments until the cartridge is filled and
loaded back onto the pump. Control-IQ
technology will then immediately begin to
operate normally.
