Important Safety InformationImportant Safety Information
immediately. Continuing to use the
Omnipod 5 System in these situations
may put your health and safety at risk.
Warning: DO NOT expose a Pod
to direct sunlight for long periods of
time. Remove your Pod prior to using
hot tubs, whirlpools or saunas. ese
conditions could expose the Pod to
extreme temperatures and may also
aect the insulin inside the Pod, which
could lead to hyperglycaemia.
Warning: Do NOT expose your
Pod to water at depths greater than
7.6metres (25 feet) or for longer than
60 minutes because damage to the Pod
can occur. is could result in over-
delivery or under-delivery of insulin,
which can lead to hypoglycaemia or
hyperglycaemia.
Warning: DO NOT use the
Omnipod5 System at low atmospheric
pressure (below 700 hPA). You could
encounter such low atmospheric
pressures at high elevations, such as
when mountain climbing or living
at elevations above 3,000 metres
(10,000feet). Change in atmospheric
pressure can also occur during
take-o with air travel. Unintended
insulin delivery can occur if there is
expansion of tiny air bubbles that may
exist inside the Pod. is can result in
hypoglycaemia. It is important to check
your glucose frequently when ying to
avoid prolonged hypoglycaemia.
Warning: DO NOT use the
Omnipod5 System in oxygen-rich
environments (greater than 25%
oxygen), which include home or
surgical areas that use supplementary
oxygen and hyperbaric chambers.
Hyperbaric, or high-pressure,
chambers are sometimes used to
promote healing of diabetic ulcers, or
to treat carbon monoxide poisoning,
certain bone and tissue infections and
decompression sickness. Exposure to
oxygen-rich environments can result in
combustion of the Pod or Omnipod5
Controller, which can cause severe
burns to the body.
Warning: DO NOT use the
Omnipod5 System in high
atmospheric pressure environments
(above 1060 hPA), which can be found
in a hyperbaric chamber. Hyperbaric,
or high-pressure, chambers are
sometimes used to promote healing
of diabetic ulcers, or to treat carbon
monoxide poisoning, certain bone and
tissue infections and decompression
sickness. Exposure to high-
atmospheric-pressure environments
can damage your Pod and Omnipod5
Controller, which could result in
under-delivery of insulin, which can
lead to hyperglycaemia.
Controller
Warning: ALWAYS identify the
Omnipod 5 App as yours before using
it. Using someone else's Omnipod5
App can result in incorrect insulin
delivery for both of you.
Warning: ALWAYS keep your
Omnipod 5 App secure and within your
control to ensure that others cannot
make changes to your insulin therapy,
which can lead to hypoglycaemia or
hyperglycaemia. Do not share your
Controller PIN with anyone.
Warning: ALWAYS contact
Customer Care if your Omnipod 5
System Controller is damaged and
not working properly. If a Controller
replacement is needed, ALWAYS
consult with your healthcare provider
to get instructions on using other
