Tandem Diabetes Care Announces No-Cost Software Updates for t:slim X2 Insulin Pump Customers in the United States

• All software updates approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the end of 2020 will be offered for no cost
• Customers who purchase a pump prior to December 31, 2020¹, including current customers, are eligible for software updates while in-warranty
• Software updates will be offered through the Tandem Device Updater

“Our ability to provide our customers with remote feature updates exemplifies our Company’s mission to improve the lives of people with diabetes through relentless innovation and revolutionary customer experience,” said John Sheridan, president and CEO of Tandem Diabetes Care. “We see great value in our software updates, both big and small. We believe easy access to the latest t:slim X2 features as they are approved can help improve the lives of our customers, encourage more people to adopt pump therapy, and further reinforce the benefit of our technology with insurance providers.”

Tandem is the only company offering a tool for remote software updates for its insulin pumps as new features are approved by the FDA. The Company previously demonstrated its market-differentiating Tandem Device Updater in 2017 by successfully providing CGM integration to thousands of t:slim X2 customers for no cost following FDA approval of the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM integration, and again in 2018 following FDA approval of the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal-IQ technology.

It is capable of remote software updates using a personal computer, offering the potential for users to access new features as they meet necessary regulatory requirements.
