21.1. About Automated Mode
Warning: AVOID administering insulin, such as by injection or inhalation,
while wearing an active Pod as this could result in hypoglycaemia. e
Omnipod 5 System cannot track insulin that is administered outside of
the system. Consult your healthcare provider about how long to wait aer
manually administering insulin before you start Automated Mode.
Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current sensor glucose value, trust how
your body feels and do not ignore symptoms of high and low glucose. Even
though insulin delivery adjusts automatically in Automated Mode, with the
goal of bringing your glucose level to your dened Target Glucose, severe
hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia may still occur.
If your sensor glucose values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check
your blood glucose using a BG meter, and consider treatment and/or Sensor
calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are
receiving inaccurate Sensor glucose values.
• Erroneously high sensor glucose values can cause excessive insulin
delivery, leading to severe hypoglycaemia, seizure, loss of consciousness
or death.
• Erroneously low sensor glucose values can cause prolonged insulin
suspension, leading to hyperglycaemia, DKA or death.
If you are having symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose
readings and you have followed all instructions described in this User Guide,
contact your healthcare provider.
Caution: ALWAYS check your glucose prior to delivering a bolus so you are
better informed on how much to take. Delivering a bolus without checking
your glucose could result in over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which
can lead to hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.
Automated Mode is the dening feature of the Omnipod 5 System. In Automated
Mode, SmartAdjust™ technology (the Omnipod 5 algorithm) predicts where
your glucose will be 60 minutes into the future. SmartAdjust technology uses
this information, along with your current sensor glucose value and trend, to
automatically adjust insulin delivery every 5 minutes. e System’s goal is to help
you bring your glucose to your dened Target Glucose.
SmartAdjust technology is on the Pod itself. You will stay in Automated Mode
even if the Controller or smartphone running your Omnipod 5 App is out of
range of the Pod. When the Pod and Controller or smartphone are in range, the
Pod sends its information back to the Omnipod 5 App, updating its Home screen
to show your current IOB along with the recent sensor glucose value and trend.
