How does the iXL™ System Work?
The iXL Diabetes Management System is a two part system:
a pump and a remote. The iXL Pump is small and has a low, thin
profile. The pump is worn on the body and is comfortable to
wear. An adhesive holds the pump against the skin. The pump
can hold up to 200 units of deliverable insulin. Each time you
activate a new pump, you fill it with the amount of insulin you
need. The iXL System stores insulin right inside the pump. Insulin
enters your body from the pump through a short thin tube (called
a cannula). With the iXL Pump, there is no long tubing to get
tangled or caught on things. Deactivate the used pump and
apply a new one every 48-72 hours or as instructed by your
healthcare provider.
RediSet™ System
The iXL Pump uses the RediSet system, a built-in infusion set
with an automatic inserter. With other systems, you have to
either insert the infusion set manually or carry around a separate
inserter. With the RediSet feature, once the iXL Pump is attached
to your skin, you simply press a button on the remote and the
automatic inserter does the rest.
Wireless Technology
The iXL System is wireless. The remote is small, lightweight,
and not attached to the pump, so you can carry it inside an
article of clothing or put it in a backpack, briefcase, or purse.
All pump operations are programmed and controlled through
the iXL Remote Controller. You use the remote to make insulin
delivery adjustments, respond to alarms and alerts and obtain
the pump status. The remote uses on-screen messages to guide
you through menu options. The menu options are clear and easy
to understand and there are only a few buttons on the remote
to learn and use.
Data Storage
Another part of the iXL System’s convenience is data storage.
Paper charts are useful, but sometimes they can be
inconvenient to carry or use. The remote’s electronic data
storage and retrieval system displays up to 90 days’ worth
of information on the remote screen.
