You can initiate your request for a software update in the easy-to-use t:connect portal. Below are the steps in the process, and general guidelines for how long each can take. You can always log into the t:connect portal to review your current status.
- Log into your account at portal.tandemdiabetes.com. If you have an existing t:connect account, you can use those same credentials to sign in.
-
Navigate to the My Devices tab, find your current pump, then select Update My Software.
- Find your Update, then select Begin Update Process
- Return to the Home page of the Portal and complete required software update activities:
-
- Confirm Your Information: If you make any changes here, a Tandem representative will update your information manually. You won’t be able to move forward in the update process until your information has been updated. This can take a few business days.
- Prescription Waiting Period (not always required): If your pump does not already have Basal-IQ or Control-IQ technology uploaded, a prescription may be required. Tandem will automatically request a prescription from your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider will then sign and return the prescription which can take 2-14 days (depending on HCP availability). Once Tandem receives the signed prescription back, you will be notified via email and your online training will become available (1-7 days).
- Complete Required Training: Depending on your pump’s starting software version and the update you selected, you may be required to complete online training modules. You should be able to complete this step within a few minutes to a few hours, depending on how many training modules you were assigned. If you run into any error messages, click here for help.
- Following completion of your training, Tandem will send you another email with your software update ID code and instructions on how to install the software update on your pump
