1.3. Indications For Use
Indications for use
e Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System is a single-hormone
insulin delivery system intended to deliver U-100 insulin subcutaneously for the
management of type 1 diabetes in persons aged 2 and older requiring insulin.
e Omnipod 5 System is intended to operate as an automated insulin delivery
system when used with compatible Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM).
When in Automated Mode, the Omnipod 5 System is designed to assist people
with type 1 diabetes in achieving glycaemic targets set by their healthcare
providers. It is intended to modulate (increase, decrease or suspend) insulin
delivery to operate within predened threshold values using current and
predicted sensor glucose values, to maintain blood glucose at variable target
glucose levels, thereby reducing glucose variability. is reduction in variability
is intended to lead to a reduction in the frequency, severity and duration of both
hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia.
