Description

Basal-IQ technology uses a simple linear regression algorithm that uses Dexcom G6 CGM values to predict glucose levels 30 minutes ahead based on 3 of the last 4 consecutive CGM readings. If the glucose level is predicted to be less than 80 mg/dL, or if a CGM reading falls below 70 mg/dL, insulin delivery is suspended. Insulin delivery resumes as soon as sensor glucose values begin to rise. Insulin may be suspended for a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 2 hours within a 2.5-hour rolling window.

Features

Zero Fingersticks: 

When the t:slim X2 pump is integrated with Dexcom G6 CGM, zero fingersticks are required for calibration or mealtime dosing.

 Easy to Use:

 97% of study participants felt very confident using the Basal-IQ feature on the t:slim X2 insulin pump.

 Responsive Insulin Delivery: 

Basal-IQ technology can turn insulin delivery on and off as often as every 5 minutes. There is no minimum insulin suspension period. Insulin resumes as soon as sensor glucose values begin to rise. 

 No Refractory Period:

 There is no refractory period during which the feature is unavailable. Basal-IQ technology can suspend insulin for up to 2 hours within a 2.5hour rolling window.

 Operates Silently in the Background:

 No added alerts or alarms beyond standard CGM and pump notifications.! Users must only decide whether they want the Basal-IQ feature on their t:slim X2 insulin pump turned on or off.
