cartridge into your t:slim X2 Pump. The
single-use disposable cartridge can
hold up to 300 units (3.0 mL) of insulin.
WARNING

Pump. Use of insulin with lesser or greater
concentration can result in under delivery or
over delivery of insulin. This can cause very
high or a very low blood glucose.
WARNING
DO NOT reuse cartridges or use cartridges
other than those manufactured by Tandem
Diabetes Care, Inc. Use of cartridges not
manufactured by Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. or
