1.1. Welcome to Your Omnipod® 5 System
e Omnipod® 5 System is the rst wearable, on-body, tubeless, automated
insulin delivery system, when used with the Dexcom G6® Continuous Glucose
Monitoring System, to continuously adapt and automatically deliver insulin
according to your personal needs. e Omnipod 5 System consists of a tubeless
insulin Pod and the Omnipod® 5 App on an Insulet-provided Controller.
Note: Smartphone compatibility not available in all markets.
The Omnipod 5 System Features
• Pod: e Pod provides continuous subcutaneous insulin delivery. It may be
worn for up to 3 days and can be lled with up to 200 units of U-100
rapid-acting insulin (minimum 85 units).
• No tubing: ere is no tubing with the Pod, allowing you to place the Pod
almost anywhere you would give yourself an injection. e Pod is waterproof
for depths of up to 7.6 metres (25 feet) for up to 60 minutes (IP28).
• Omnipod® 5 App: e Omnipod 5 App allows you to select a basal prole,
target glucose and bolus settings, activate and deactivate the Pod, connect
with the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, and select
insulin delivery mode. e Omnipod 5 App comes installed on an
Insulet-provided Controller.
• Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System: e
Omnipod 5 System is designed to work with the Dexcom G6, which must be
obtained separately. Sensor glucose values and trends from the Dexcom G6
are used for automated insulin delivery in Automated Mode, as well as bolus
calculations in both Automated and Manual Mode. e Dexcom G6 Sensor
must be started in the Dexcom app in order to use sensor glucose values and
trends in the Omnipod 5 System.
• Two modes of operation: e Omnipod 5 System provides the following
modes of operation: Automated and Manual. e Omnipod 5 System
enables you to switch between modes when required conditions are met.
e System behaves dierently depending on which mode you select.
• Automated Mode: Each Pod contains SmartAdjust™ technology that
adjusts insulin every 5 minutes to bring your glucose value to your
customised glucose target, or Target Glucose. e adjustment is based on
a prediction of where your glucose will be 60 minutes in the future and
considers your sensor glucose value and trend, adaptive basal rate and
insulin that is still working in your body.
• Manual Mode: e Omnipod 5 System delivers insulin based on
user-dened Basal Programmes. During Manual Mode, there is no
automated adjustment of insulin delivery.
