• Check that your active Transmitter is not paired with a Dexcom G6 receiver
or another medical device. When using Omnipod 5, the Pod is the only
medical device the Transmitter can pair with. You must use the Dexcom G6
mobile app on a smartphone to manage Sensor alarms and to start and stop
Sensors and Transmitters.
21.3. Bolus Settings and the Importance of a Bolus
In Automated Mode, the Omnipod 5 System automatically delivers insulin
every 5 minutes. However, you still need to deliver a bolus dose for meals. For
information on how to deliver a bolus, see “SmartBolus Calculator” on page 201.
When delivering a bolus, it is recommended to:
• Tap USE SENSOR to use your Sensor glucose value in the SmartBolus
Calculator. is will ensure that your sensor trend is included in the
calculations and necessary adjustments are made to account for the trend.
• Review the SmartBolus Calculator calculations for accuracy. If the
calculations show an amount you are not expecting, cancel the bolus and
begin again.
• Always look for the progress bar to conrm that delivery has begun before
exiting the Omnipod 5 App.
Note: If you leave the Omnipod 5 App for more than 5 minutes while making
changes to your bolus delivery, you will lose the information you have entered into
the SmartBolus Calculator.
21.4. Pod Adaptivity
In Automated Mode, automated insulin delivery adapts to your changing needs
as you wear the System. As you use the Omnipod 5 System and gather insulin
delivery history, SmartAdjust technology will automatically update your next Pod
with information from your last few Pods about your recent total daily insulin
(TDI).
Your baseline Adaptive Basal Rate is based on how much total daily insulin
you have needed over the past few weeks. With each Pod change, SmartAdjust
technology uses this updated TDI to set a new Adaptive Basal Rate for you.
When sensor glucose values and trend are available, SmartAdjust technology will
also adjust this rate up or down every 5 minutes in response to your current and
predicted glucose.
