Introduction

These instructions are specific to Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). For information on starting a Dexcom G6 sensor session, please refer to the user guide.

Note: These instructions are provided as a reference tool for pump users and caregivers who are already familiar with the use of an insulin pump and with insulin therapy in general. Not all screens are shown. For more detailed information on the operation of the t:slim X2 pump, please refer to its user guide.

Step-by-Step Sensor Session Start

  1. 1 From the Home screen, tap [Options button]. Tap the down arrow and then tap [My CGM button].

    Screenshot shows the t:slim X2 pump home screen with options like My CGM, Device Settings, and History.

  2. 2 If this is the first time using a Dexcom G7 sensor, tap [Select Sensor button] and then tap [Dexcom G7 button]. Otherwise, skip to Step 3.

    Screenshot shows the 'Select Sensor' screen with options for Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G6.

  3. 3 Tap [START G7 SENSOR button].

    Screenshot shows the Dexcom G7 menu with options like START G7 SENSOR, Calibrate CGM, CGM Alerts, and Change Sensor Type.

    Note: If the user utilizes the Dexcom G7 mobile app, the user must start a sensor session and enter the pairing code on both the Dexcom G7 mobile app and t:slim X2 insulin pump.

  4. If the user is continuing with an active sensor session and is not using the Dexcom G7 mobile app, tap ✔️ and then skip to Step 6. Otherwise, go to Step 4 to continue.

    Screenshot shows a prompt: "Would you like to rejoin your existing session?" with a ❌ and ✔️ option.

  5. 4 Enter the code found on the side of the sensor applicator and tap ✔️ to continue.

    Screenshot shows a numeric keypad for entering a Pairing Code.

    Note: If using the Dexcom G7 mobile app, the pairing code can be found under Connections.

  6. 5 Tap [ENTER CODE AGAIN button] to verify the pairing code and then tap ✔️ to continue.

    Screenshot shows a prompt: "VERIFY PAIRING CODE. Please verify your Pairing Code by entering it a second time." with an input field and button.

    Note: If valid, a CODE CONFIRMED screen will appear to confirm. If invalid, the pump will prompt you to enter the code again.

  7. 6 Tap ✔️ to start the sensor session startup period. The SENSOR STARTED screen will appear to confirm.

    Screenshot shows a prompt: "You are ready to start your CGM session. New sensor readings will display on your home screen when the Sensor Startup period has completed. Start Sensor?" with a ❌ and ✔️ option.

  8. 7 The pump will return to the Home screen with a CGM trend graph and sensor startup countdown symbol.

    Screenshot shows the t:slim X2 pump home screen displaying a CGM trend graph with a countdown timer and current glucose reading.

    Note: If continuing an active sensor session, the startup period will take five to 10 minutes. For a new session, it may take up to 30 minutes.

  9. 8 The symbol fills in over time to show how much time is left.

    Screenshot shows the t:slim X2 pump home screen with a partially filled sensor startup symbol indicating progress.

    Note: During this startup period, the pump will not display sensor data or allow use of predictive technology. Users should continue to use a blood glucose (BG) meter and test strips in order to make treatment decisions.

  10. 9 Once completed, the new sensor session will begin.

    Screenshot shows the t:slim X2 pump home screen displaying a completed CGM trend graph with a current glucose reading and insulin on board information.

    Note: If you see a Sensor Not Started alert, contact Dexcom support. If glucose alerts and readings do not match symptoms or expectations, use a BG meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.

Pump Tip

? The Dexcom G7 sensor needs a 30-minute startup period, which begins immediately after insertion, before trend information displays on the pump screen. When pairing your G7 sensor, make sure all other sensors are at least 20 feet away from your pump.

Connection Tips

If the Out of Range icon is shown on the insulin pump screen, then the sensor is not communicating with the pump. When a sensor glucose reading cannot be provided, "-- --" shows in the place where the sensor glucose value is normally shown.

Screenshot shows the t:slim X2 pump screen displaying the Out of Range icon and "-- --" for glucose value.

  • For ideal connectivity, it is suggested that the user faces the pump screen out and away from their body and wear the pump on the same side of the body that they wear the sensor.
  • Make sure that nothing is rubbing or obstructing the sensor.
  • Please note that wireless communication does not work well through water, so the transmission range is much less.
