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 dosing 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 glucose value. Read
all Control-IQ technology instructions before
activating Control-IQ technology.
⚑ NOTE
The target CGM ranges used by Control-IQ
technology are not customizable.
⚑ NOTE
Before activating a Temp Rate (see Section 5.9
Starting a Temporary Basal Rate), you must turn
off Control-IQ technology.

⚑ NOTE
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
