The U.S. FDA has announced\u00a0clearance of an expanded pediatric indication for the\u00a0Tandem\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0t:slim X2\u2122 insulin pump with Control-IQ\u2122 technology to children age\u00a06\u00a0and older. The product was previously approved for ages 14 and older. Control-IQ technology is an advanced hybrid closed-loop feature designed to increase time in range (70-180 mg\/dL).<\/p>\n

Control-IQ technology helps simplify diabetes management for younger patients by adjusting insulin delivery to help prevent highs and lows, automatically delivering correction boluses up to once per hour, and offering exercise and sleep-specific features. Integrated with Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), Control-IQ technology requires no fingersticks for calibration or diabetes treatment decisions.<\/p>\n

In a recent six-month study of children age 6 to 13 using the t:slim X2 pump with Control-IQ technology, sensor time in range (TIR) increased to 67 percent from 53 percent compared to those in the control group using sensor-augmented pump (SAP) alone (p<0.001). Overnight, children using Control-IQ technology in the same study stayed in range an average of 80 percent of the time, compared to 54 percent in the control group. This data from the\u00a0International Diabetes Closed Loop Protocol-5\u00a0<\/em>(DCLP5) study, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH),\u00a0was\u00a0presented earlier this year<\/a>\u00a0at the 13th<\/sup>\u00a0International Conference on Advanced Technologies and Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD)\u00a0in Madrid, Spain.<\/p>\n
