Indications for Use
The t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with Basal-
IQ Technology consists of the t:slim X2
Insulin Pump which contains the Basal-
IQ Technology, and a Continuous Glu-
cose Monitor (CGM).
The t:slim X2 Insulin Pump is intended
for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin,
at set and variable rates, for the man-
agement of diabetes mellitus in persons
requiring insulin. The t:slim X2 Insulin
Pump can be used solely for continu-
ous insulin delivery and as part of the
t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with Basal-IQ
Technology System.
When the System is used with a com-
patible integrated Continuous Glucose
Monitors (iCGM), the Basal-IQ Technol-
ogy can be used to suspend insulin
delivery based on CGM sensor read-
ings.
Compatible iCGMs are listed in the
labeling for this device.
The System is indicated for use in indi-
viduals 6 years of age and greater.
The System is intended for single
patient use and requires a prescription.
The System is indicated for use with
U-100 Humalog or U-100 NovoLog
insulin.
Contraindications
The t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with Basal-
IQ Technology is not intended for any-
one unable or unwilling to:
• Test blood glucose (BG) levels as
recommended by your healthcare
provider
• Demonstrate adequate
carbohydrate-counting skills
(preferred, not required)
• Maintain sufficient diabetes self-
care skills
• See your healthcare provider(s)
regularly
You must also have adequate vision
and/or hearing in order to recognize
your System alerts.
The t:slim X2 Pump, Dexcom G6 Trans-
mitter, and Dexcom G6 Sensor must be
removed before Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography
(CT) scan, or diathermy treatment.
Exposure to MRI, CT, or diathermy
treatment can damage the System.
Compatible CGMs include the following
integrated continuous glucose monitors
(iCGMs):
• Dexcom G6 CGM System
For information about Dexcom G6
CGM product specifications and perfor-
mance characteristics, refer to the
manufacturer’s website for applicable
user guides.
