12.1. Insulet-provided Controller
When connected to a network, the Omnipod 5 Controller oers over-the-air
updates when a soware update is available. ere are two types of updates for
the Omnipod 5 Controller: OS (Operating System) updates and Omnipod 5 App
updates. OS update refers to updating the operating system of the Controller.
Omnipod 5 App update refers to updating the Omnipod 5 App on the Controller.
When an update is available, you will receive a notication prompting you to carry
out an update.
Note: You will not be able to navigate in the Omnipod 5 App during an
Omnipod5 update; however, your insulin therapy will not be impacted.
e Pod continues delivering insulin and will re-establish connection with the
Omnipod 5 App once the update is complete.
Note: e Controller must be connected to a network to receive over-the-air
updates. If you turn Flight Mode ON, you may miss important updates.
Note: All updates on the Controller that are considered optional require a Wi-Fi
connection.
Note: If you have an immediate bolus in progress, soware updates will be
delayed until the bolus is complete.
Caution: ALWAYS make sure your battery has adequate charge prior to
installing a soware update.
Caution: Connect ONLY to trusted Wi-Fi networks with your Controller.
AVOID connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, such as those found in
airports, coee shops, etc., as these networks are not secure and could result
in exposing your Controller to malware. DO NOT connect to public Wi-Fi
networks during rst-time set-up of your Omnipod 5 System.
Operating System (OS) Update
Operating System (OS) updates may be either “optional” or “required”. Required
updates require you to perform the update immediately before you can use the
Omnipod 5 App. Optional updates may be postponed to a later time.

1. Ensure that your Controller is currently charging or the battery is charged to
above 40%.
Note: If your Controller is currently charging, the battery must be above
20%.
2. Tap Update Now.
e Omnipod 5 Controller begins to update.
Once the update is complete, you will see a conrmation screen.
