Update Your Pump

Here are the three simple steps to update the software on your t:slim insulin pump:

Before You Begin

Please consult the Tandem Device Updater User Guide and have the following on hand:

Your unique Update ID Number, sent to you in an email. If you did not receive an email from us, give our Customer Support Team a call at (877) 801-6901. The Software Support Team is available between 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Pacific Time.
A backup insulin delivery option, such as a syringe and fast-acting insulin, in case there are any issues updating your insulin pump.
Your blood glucose meter so that you can check your BG prior to starting the update.
A convenient time to stop all insulin delivery, detach your infusion set, and remove your cartridge. We recommend performing the update when you are ready to change your pump's cartridge.
A compatible computer with an internet connection. If you are using a laptop, make sure that it remains plugged in to a wall outlet during the half hour it will take to complete the software update.
And remember, the t:flex® and t:slim G4™ insulin pumps are not currently compatible with the Tandem Device Updater.

Important Safety Information

Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts the t:slim X2 insulin pump and the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal-IQ technology to sale by or on the order of a physician. The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal-IQ technology (the System) consists of the t:slim X2 insulin pump, which contains Basal-IQ technology, and a compatible integrated continuous glucose monitor (iCGM, sold separately). The t:slim X2 insulin pump is intended for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in people requiring insulin. The t:slim X2 insulin pump can be used solely for continuous insulin delivery and as part of the System. When used with a compatible CGM, the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal-IQ technology can be used to suspend insulin delivery based on CGM sensor readings. The pump and the System are indicated for use in individuals 6 years of age and greater. The pump and the System are intended for single patient use. The pump and the System are indicated for use with NovoLog or Humalog U-100 insulin. The System is not indicated for use in pregnant women, people on dialysis, or critically ill patients. Users of the pump and the System must: be willing and able to use the insulin pump, CGM, and all other system components in accordance with their respective instructions for use; test blood glucose levels as recommended by their healthcare provider; demonstrate adequate carb-counting skills; maintain sufficient diabetes self-care skills; see healthcare provider(s) regularly; and have adequate vision and/or hearing to recognize all functions of the pump, including alerts. The t:slim X2 pump, transmitter, and sensor must be removed before MRI, CT, or diathermy treatment. For additional important safety information, visit www.tandemdiabetes.com/safetyinfo.
