Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (Nasdaq: TNDM), a leading insulin delivery and diabetes technology company, today announced the United States commercial launch of Control-IQ+ technology, the latest generation of the company’s advanced hybrid closed-loop algorithm. Control-IQ+, compatible with both the t:slim X2 insulin pump and Tandem Mobi System, is now available for people with type 1 diabetes ages 2 years and older and adults with type 2 diabetes. Pumps pre-loaded with the updated software are now shipping to new customers, and all eligible, in-warranty Tandem customers will have access to the new features via remote software update free of charge.
"These new features allow for even greater levels of personalization and flexibility within our algorithm, while still receiving high marks for ease of use across a diverse population of users," said John Sheridan, president and chief executive officer. "We are proud to offer this life-changing technology to millions more people living with diabetes."
New features of the Control-IQ+ algorithm include:
Expanded weight (20-440 lbs.) and total daily insulin (5-200 units) parameters to accommodate a wider range of insulin requirements.
Enhanced extended bolus up to 8 hours with Control-IQ+ turned on, for better management for meals with delayed glucose rise or prolonged eating.
New Temp Basal Rate adjustments allowed when Control-IQ+ is active, to address short-term glucose needs, such as exercise, stress, or illness, while Control-IQ+ is turned on.
Control-IQ+ builds on the existing features of Tandem’s industry-leading Control-IQ algorithm, which in addition to adjusting insulin every 5 minutes based on predicted glucose values, also uses a unique AutoBolus™ feature that calculates and delivers a correction bolus to help with missed meal boluses. Control-IQ+ is also the only AID algorithm that allows users to program extended boluses of up to 8 hours while automation is active to better manage delayed glucose rises or prolonged eating.
