Welcome to Your Omnipod 5 System The Omnipod 5 System is the first wearable, on-body, tubeless, automated insulin delivery system. The Omnipod 5 System consists of a tubeless insulin Pod and the Omnipod 5 App on an Insulet-provided Controller or installed on a compatible smartphone. The Omnipod 5 System works with the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System to continuously adapt and automatically deliver insulin according to your personal needs. The Omnipod 5 System Features Pod: The Pod provides continuous subcutaneous insulin delivery. It may be worn for up to 3 days and can be filled with up to 200 units of U-100 rapid-
acting insulin (minimum 85 units). No tubing: There is no tubing with the Pod allowing you to place the Pod almost anywhere you would give yourself an injection. The Pod is waterproof for depths up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) for up to 60 minutes (IP28). Omnipod 5 App: The Omnipod 5 App allows you to select a basal profile, target glucose and bolus settings, activate and deactivate the Pod, connect with the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, and select insulin delivery mode. The Omnipod 5 App comes installed on an Insulet-
provided Controller or can be downloaded to a compatible smartphone For a list of the latest compatible smartphones, please visit https://omnipod.com/
compatibility. Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System: The Omnipod 5 System is designed to work with the Dexcom G6 which must be obtained separately. CGM values and trends from the Dexcom G6 are used for automated insulin delivery in Automated Mode, as well as bolus calculations in both Automated and Manual Mode. The Dexcom G6 sensor must be started in the Dexcom app in order to use CGM values and trends in the Omnipod 5 System. Pod Site tracker: When activating a new Pod, the System provides the option to track the site on which you have applied a Pod. This allows you to reference past Pod sites when deciding where to place your next Pod. Keeping Track of CGM and Insulin: The Omnipod 5 System records up to 90 days of information, including basal delivery, bolus doses, carbohydrates, alarms, and glucose-related data. In Automated Mode, the system records automated insulin delivery and corresponding CGM values every 5 minutes. The Home screen features a CGM graph which allows for reference of your CGM values and displays some information about insulin delivery. 4 Introduction11Introduction Omnipod 5 SmartBolus Calculator Features SmartBolus Calculator: If you are planning to eat or if your glucose is high, the SmartBolus Calculator can suggest a bolus amount of insulin based on your individual settings, entered values, and CGM value and trend when available. The SmartBolus Calculator allows for the immediate delivery of the bolus insulin in both Automated and Manual Mode. In Manual Mode, the SmartBolus Calculator also allows for an extended bolus. The extended bolus can be customized to deliver the bolus dose over a period of time. Omnipod 5 SmartAdjust Technology Features Two modes of operation: The Omnipod 5 System provides the following modes of operation: Automated and Manual. The Omnipod 5 System enables you to switch between modes when required conditions are met. The System behaves differently depending on which mode you select. Automated Mode: Each Pod contains SmartAdjust technology that adjusts insulin every 5 minutes to bring your glucose value to your customized glucose target, or Target Glucose.. The adjustment is based on a prediction of where your glucose will be 60 minutes in the future and considers your CGM value and trend, adaptive basal rate, and insulin that is still working in your body. Manual Mode: The Omnipod 5 System delivers insulin based on user-
defined Basal Programs. During Manual Mode, there is no automated adjustment of insulin delivery. Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System: The Omnipod 5 System is designed to work with the Dexcom G6 which must be obtained separately. CGM values and trends from the Dexcom G6 are used for automated insulin delivery in Automated Mode, as well as for bolus calculations in both Automated and Manual Mode. The Dexcom G6 sensor must be started in the Dexcom app in order to use CGM values and trends in the Omnipod 5 System. Activity feature: While in Automated Mode, you can enable the Activity feature in times when you need less insulin, for example, when you are getting ready to exercise. When the Activity feature is enabled, the system gives less insulin and aims for a Target Glucose of 150 mg/dL. Keeping track of Automated Insulin: In Automated Mode, the system records automated insulin delivery and corresponding CGM values every 5 minutes. The Home screen features a CGM graph which allows for reference of your CGM values and displays some information about insulin delivery, including automation status. 5 Introduction11Introduction 1.2.

Warning: DO NOT use the Omnipod 5 System if you do not have adequate vision and/or hearing to recognize all functions of the Omnipod 5 System including alerts, alarms, and reminders according to instructions. Warning: ONLY use rapid-acting U-100 NovoLog (insulin aspart), Humalog
(insulin lispro), and Admelog (insulin lispro) insulin in the Omnipod 5 System as they have been tested and found to be safe for use with this system. NovoLog, 8 Introduction11Introduction Humalog, and Admelog are compatible with the Omnipod 5 System for use up to 72 hours (3 days). Follow your healthcare providers directions for how often to replace the Pod. Warning: AVOID administering insulin, such as by injection or inhalation, while wearing an active Pod as this could result in hypoglycemia. The Omnipod 5 System cannot track insulin that is administered outside of the system. Consult your healthcare provider about how long to wait after manually administering insulin before you start Automated Mode. Warning: AVOID changing your SmartBolus Calculator settings before consulting with your healthcare provider. Incorrect changes could result in over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Settings that impact bolus calculations mainly include: Max Bolus, Minimum Glucose for Calculations, Correct Above, Correction Factor(s), Insulin to Carb (IC) ratio(s), Duration of Insulin Action, and Target Glucose. Warning: ALWAYS follow your healthcare provider's guidance on appropriate glucose monitoring to avoid hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Warning: Glucose below 70 mg/dL may indicate hypoglycemia (low glucose). Glucose above 250 mg/dL may indicate hyperglycemia (high glucose). Follow your healthcare provider's suggestions for treatment. Warning: ALWAYS promptly treat hypoglycemia. Glucose at or below 55 mg/dL indicates significant hypoglycemia (very low glucose). If left untreated, this could lead to seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Follow your healthcare provider's recommendations for treatment. Warning: ALWAYS promptly treat glucose below 70 mg/dL (hypoglycemia) according to your healthcare provider's recommendations. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include weakness, sweating, nervousness, headache, or confusion. If left untreated, hypoglycemia can lead to seizure, loss of consciousness, or death. Warning: DO NOT wait to treat hypoglycemia (low glucose) or symptoms of hypoglycemia. Even if you cannot check your glucose, waiting to treat symptoms could lead to severe hypoglycemia, which can lead to seizure, loss of consciousness, or death. Warning: ALWAYS promptly treat hyperglycemia (high glucose) according to your healthcare provider's recommendations. Symptoms of hyperglycemia include fatigue, thirst, excess urination, or blurry vision. If left untreated, hyperglycemia can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), or death. Warning: DO NOT wait to treat DKA. If left untreated, DKA can quickly lead to breathing difficulties, shock, coma, or death. Warning: ALWAYS treat "LOW" or "HIGH" CGM values and "LO" or "HI" blood glucose readings according to your healthcare provider's recommendations. These values can indicate potentially serious conditions requiring immediate 9 Introduction11Introduction medical attention. If left untreated, these situations can quickly lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), shock, coma, or death. Warning: NEVER drive yourself to the emergency room if you need emergency medical care. Ask a friend or family member to take you to the emergency room or call an ambulance. Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current CGM 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 defined Target Glucose, severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia may still occur. If your CGM values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check your blood glucose using a BG meter, consider treatment and/or CGM sensor calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are receiving inaccurate CGM values. Erroneously high CGM values can cause excessive insulin delivery, leading to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Erroneously low CGM values can cause prolonged insulin suspension leading to hyperglycemia, 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. Warning: ALWAYS make sure you are using the CGM per manufacturer's instructions. Do not extend the sensor wear beyond the recommended duration and do not wear a sensor that is past the labeled expiration date. The Omnipod 5 System relies on accurate, current CGM values to determine your insulin needs. Incorrect use of the CGM could result in over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which could lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Warning: Do NOT use Omnipod 5 System if you are taking hydroxyurea, a medication used in the treatment of diseases including cancer and sickle cell anemia. Your Dexcom G6 CGM readings could be falsely elevated and could result in over-delivery of insulin which can lead to severe hypoglycemia. Warning: ALWAYS respond to Hazard Alarms as soon as they occur. Pod Hazard Alarms indicate that insulin delivery has stopped. Failure to respond to a Hazard Alarm could result in under-delivery of insulin which can lead to hyperglycemia. Warning: ALWAYS monitor your glucose and follow your healthcare provider's treatment guidelines when you stop receiving insulin due to a blockage
(occlusion). Not taking action promptly could result in under-delivery of insulin which can lead to hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (see"
Blockage Detected" on page 163). 10 Introduction11Introduction Warning: SmartAdjust technology should NOT be used by anyone under the age of 6 years old. SmartAdjust technology should also NOT be used in people who require less than 6 units of insulin per day as the safety of the technology has not been evaluated in this population. Warning: DO NOT use the Omnipod 5 System at low atmospheric pressure
(below 700hPA). You could encounter such low atmospheric pressures at high elevations, such as when mountain climbing or living at elevations above 10,000 feet (3,000 meters). Change in atmospheric pressure can also occur during take-
off with air travel. Unintended insulin delivery can occur if there is expansion of tiny air bubbles that may exist inside the Pod. This can result in hypoglycemia. It is important to check your glucose frequently when flying to avoid prolonged hypoglycemia. 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 could 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 hyperglycemia. 1.6. General Precautions Caution: Federal (US) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Caution: DO NOT use any component of the Omnipod 5 System (smartphone, Controller, Pod) if you suspect damage after an unexpected event such as dropping or hitting on a hard surface. Using damaged components may put your health at risk as the system may not be working properly. If you are unsure if one or more of your components are damaged, stop using the system and call Customer Care for support. Caution: ONLY use the Omnipod 5 System with authorized devices (Omnipod 5 App, Controller and Pod and Dexcom G6 CGM). DO NOT attempt to use the Omnipod 5 System with unauthorized devices. Attempting to use the Omnipod 11 Introduction11Introduction 5 System with unauthorized devices could interrupt your insulin delivery and put your health and safety at risk. Caution: Connect ONLY to trusted Wi-Fi networks with your Controller or smartphone. AVOID connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, such as those found in airports, coffee shops, etc, as these networks are not secure and could result in exposing your Controller or phone to malware. DO NOT connect to public Wi-Fi networks during first-time setup of your Omnipod 5 System. Caution: ALWAYS activate a new Pod in a timely manner. Waiting too long between Pod changes could result in under-delivery of insulin which can lead to hyperglycemia. If another Pod is not available, use a different insulin delivery method. Caution: DO NOT navigate away from the Omnipod 5 App while you are in the process of making changes to your insulin delivery settings. If you leave the App before you are able to save the setting change and before the App is able to put the setting change into effect, the system will continue to use your last saved settings. As a result, you may continue with therapy settings that you did not intend. If you are unsure about whether your changes were saved, review your settings. Caution: ALWAYS keep your Controller safe and within your control to ensure others cannot make changes to your insulin therapy. Do not share your Controller screen lock security with anyone. Caution: AVOID leaving your Controller or smartphone in a place that would prevent you from hearing alarms and notifications from your Omnipod 5 App. Delivery of insulin in Manual Mode or Automated Mode continues as programmed if you move away from your Controller or smartphone. Caution: ALWAYS respond to Pod Expired, Low Pod Insulin, and Pod Shut-Off Advisory Alarms when they occur. These alarms escalate to Hazard Alarms if no action is taken. When Hazard Alarms occur, insulin delivery stops. Caution: ALWAYS be aware of possible changes to your time zone when traveling. If you do not update your time zone, your insulin therapy will be delivered based on your old time zone which may cause disruptions in your insulin delivery schedule and inaccurate history logs. Talk to your healthcare provider about how to manage your insulin delivery while traveling between time zones. Caution: You cannot use the Dexcom G6 receiver with the Omnipod 5 System because the Omnipod 5 System is compatible only with the G6 app on a smartphone. Caution: ALWAYS check your glucose frequently during amusement park rides and flying or other situations where sudden changes or extremes of air pressure, altitude, or gravity may be occurring. Though the Omnipod 5 System is safe to use at atmospheric pressures typically found in airplane cabins during flight, the atmosphere pressure in an airplane cabin can change during flight, which may affect the Pod's insulin delivery. Rapid changes in altitude and gravity, such as 12 Introduction11Introduction those typically found on amusement park rides or flight take-off and landing, can affect insulin delivery, leading to possible hypoglycemia or injury. If needed, follow your healthcare provider's treatment instructions. Potential Risks The Omnipod 5 System uses CGM values and trends to calculate insulin delivery. If the CGM values are inaccurate, the System could deliver an inaccurate dose of insulin which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Wearing a Pod might cause infection. Be aware of signs of infection, including: bleeding, pain, and skin irritation, including redness. See your healthcare provider if irritation occurs. Kinks or air bubbles in the cannula, or dislodging of the cannula can affect insulin delivery. Glucose that does not decrease after a bolus, or other unexplained high glucose, are signs of a blockage (occlusion) and an interruption in insulin delivery. Hardware defects, software glitches, and Pod failures can cause an interruption in insulin delivery. A Pod failure can lead to hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, or diabetic ketoacidosis. Keep your Omnipod 5 Controller and/or smartphone on and nearby to ensure you are notified of recent insulin delivery and important alarms and messages.

Omnipod 5 Pump Important Safety Information Pump Warnings Omnipod 5 System Settings and Training Warning: DO NOT start to use your system or change your settings without adequate training and guidance from your healthcare provider. Initiating and adjusting settings incorrectly can result in over-delivery or under-
delivery of insulin, which could lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Settings that impact insulin delivery mainly include: Pod Shut-Off, basal rate(s), Max Basal Rate, Max Bolus, Correction Factor(s), Insulin to Carb
(IC) Ratio(s), Minimum Glucose for Calculations, Target Glucose and Correct Above, and Duration of Insulin Action. Insulin Warning: ONLY use rapid-acting U-100 NovoLog (insulin aspart), Humalog (insulin lispro), and Admelog (insulin lispro) insulin in the Omnipod 5 System as they have been tested and found to be safe for use with this system. NovoLog, Humalog, and Admelog are compatible with the Omnipod 5 System for use up to 72 hours (3 days). Follow your healthcare providers directions for how often to replace the Pod. Warning: ALWAYS be prepared to inject insulin with an alternative method if insulin delivery from the Pod is interrupted. You are at increased risk for developing hyperglycemia if insulin delivery is interrupted because the Pod only uses rapid-acting U-100 insulin. Failure to have an alternative method of insulin delivery can lead to very high glucose or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Ask your healthcare provider for instructions for handling interrupted insulin delivery. Warning: NEVER use insulin that is expired or cloudy in the Pod as it may be damaged. Using damaged or expired insulin could cause hyperglycemia and put your health at risk. Warning: AVOID administering insulin, such as by injection or inhalation, while wearing an active Pod as this could result in hypoglycemia. The Omnipod 5 System cannot track insulin that is administered outside of the system. Consult your healthcare provider about how long to wait after manually administering insulin before you start Automated Mode. Omnipod 5 System Warning: Device components including the Pod, CGM transmitter, and CGM sensor may be affected by strong radiation or magnetic fields. Device components must be removed
(and the Pod and CGM sensor should be disposed of) before X-ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), or Computed Tomography (CT) scan
(or any similar test or procedure). In addition, the Controller and 17 smartphone should be placed outside of the procedure room. Exposure to X-ray, MRI, or CT, treatment can damage these components. Check with your healthcare provider on Pod removal guidelines. Warning: DO NOT expose any Omnipod 5 System products or supplies to extreme temperatures as this results in them not functioning properly. Store all Omnipod 5 System products and supplies, including unopened Pods, in a cool, dry place. Pod Warning: Do NOT use a Pod if you are sensitive to or have allergies to acrylic adhesives, or have fragile or easily damaged skin. Applying a Pod under these circumstances could put your health at risk. Warning: ALWAYS dispose of the Pod according to local waste disposal guidelines. The Pod is considered biohazardous after use and can potentially transmit infectious diseases. Warning: DO NOT allow small children access to small parts, such as the Pod and its accessories, including the tab. Small parts could be swallowed and pose a choking hazard. If ingested or swallowed, these small parts could cause internal injury or infection. Warning: NEVER inject large bubbles or pockets of air when filling the Pod with insulin. Air in the system takes up space where insulin should be and can affect insulin delivery. Doing so could result in over-delivery or under-
delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Warning: NEVER use a Pod if, while you are filling the Pod, you feel 18 significant resistance while pressing the plunger down on the fill syringe. Do not try to force the insulin into the Pod. Significant resistance may indicate that the Pod has a mechanical defect. Using this Pod could result in under-delivery of insulin that can lead to hyperglycemia. Warning: DO NOT apply a Pod if you see the cannula is extended beyond the adhesive backing after the tab on the Pod is removed. This cannula cannot be inserted resulting in under-
delivery of insulin which could lead to hyperglycemia. Warning: ALWAYS check the infusion site often to make sure the cannula is properly inserted and secured to the Pod. Verify that there is no wetness or scent of insulin, which may indicate that the cannula has dislodged. An improperly inserted, loose, or dislodged cannula could result in under-delivery of insulin which can lead to hyperglycemia. Warning: NEVER inject insulin (or anything else) into the fill port while the Pod is on your body. Attempting to do so may result in the over-
delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which could lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Warning: DO NOT apply a new Pod until you have deactivated and removed the old Pod. A Pod that is not deactivated properly can continue to deliver insulin as programmed, putting you at risk of over-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia. Warning: DO NOT continue using an activated Pod that fails to beep during a diagnostic test. The Pod should be changed immediately. If the Important Safety InformationImportant Safety Information Omnipod 5 App fails to beep during a diagnostic test, call Customer Care 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. These conditions could expose the Pod to extreme temperatures and may also affect the insulin inside the Pod which could lead to hyperglycemia. Warning: Do NOT expose your Pod to water at depths greater than 25 feet (7.6 meters) or for longer than 60 minutes because damage to the Pod can occur. This could result in over-
delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Warning: DO NOT use the Omnipod 5 System at low atmospheric pressure
(below 700hPA). You could encounter such low atmospheric pressures at high elevations, such as when mountain climbing or living at elevations above 10,000 feet (3,000 meters).

Pump Precautions Omnipod 5 System Caution: DO NOT use any component of the Omnipod 5 System
(smartphone, Controller, Pod) if you suspect damage after an unexpected event such as dropping or hitting on a hard surface. Using damaged components may put your health at risk as the system may not be working properly. If you are unsure if one or more of your components are damaged, stop using the system and call Customer Care for support. Caution: NEVER use a blow dryer or hot air to dry the Controller or Pod. Extreme heat can damage the electronics. Caution: ALWAYS make sure your battery has adequate charge prior to installing a software update. Caution: If you decide later to switch between the Controller and your smartphone, you will need to start setup again on the new device. New setup requires entry of all your personalized settings. Consult with 21 Important Safety InformationImportant Safety Information your healthcare provider if you are unsure about how to set up the new device. If you are wearing a Pod and need to switch devices, you will need to deactivate your Pod and activate a new one, since the Pod cannot communicate with two devices at one time. If possible, wait to switch between devices until a scheduled Pod change. Caution: ALWAYS check your glucose frequently during amusement park rides and flying or other situations where sudden changes or extremes of air pressure, altitude, or gravity may be occurring. Though the Omnipod 5 System is safe to use at atmospheric pressures typically found in airplane cabins during flight, the atmosphere pressure in an airplane cabin can change during flight, which may affect the Pod's insulin delivery. Rapid changes in altitude and gravity, such as those typically found on amusement park rides or flight take-off and landing, can affect insulin delivery, leading to possible hypoglycemia or injury. If needed, follow your healthcare provider's treatment instructions. Caution: ALWAYS check your glucose frequently when you use very low basal rates. Checking your glucose frequently can alert you to the presence of a blockage (occlusion). Blockages can result in hyperglycemia. Caution: ALWAYS tap START INSULIN to start insulin delivery after a pause period has ended during Manual Mode use. Insulin delivery does not automatically start after a pause. If you do not start insulin delivery, you could develop hyperglycemia. 22 Caution: ALWAYS be aware of possible changes to your time zone when traveling. If you do not update your time zone, your insulin therapy will be delivered based on your old time zone which may cause disruptions in your insulin delivery schedule and inaccurate history logs. Talk to your healthcare provider about how to manage your insulin delivery while traveling between time zones. Caution: DO NOT reset the Omnipod 5 App or clear the app data before checking with your healthcare provider. This will erase all of your settings, Adaptive Basal Rate, and history, and require you to change your active Pod. Before resetting or clearing app data, make sure you have a current record of your settings and a new Pod with supplies to use when restarting the app. Caution: AVOID storing Omnipod 5 System components and supplies in a place where children, pets, or pests may access. Unintended access could result in damage to system parts or impact their sterility. Pod Caution: DO NOT use a Pod if the sterile packaging is open or damaged, the Pod has been dropped after removal from the package, or the Pod is expired as the Pod may not work properly and increase your risk of infection. Caution: ALWAYS insert the fill syringe into the fill port and not into any other location on the Pod. Do not insert the fill syringe more than once into the fill port. Use only the fill syringe and needle that came with your Pod. The fill syringe is intended for Important Safety InformationImportant Safety Information single use only and should only be used with the Omnipod 5 System. Failure to follow the instructions above may result in damage to your Pod. Caution: NEVER reuse the Pod or fill syringe or try to use a fill syringe that did not come with your Pod. Always dispose of the used Pod and fill syringe according to local disposal guidelines. Only use a new Pod with included fill syringe with each Pod change. Always carry supplies to perform a Pod change should you need to replace your Pod at any time. Caution: ALWAYS follow these steps in preparing your site. If your site is not cleaned properly or if your hands are dirty, you increase your risk of infection. Wash your hands. Clean the top of the insulin vial with an alcohol prep swab. Clean your infusion site with soap and water or an alcohol prep swab, and let it dry completely. Caution: ALWAYS check for signs of infection often. If an infusion site shows signs of infection:
Immediately remove the Pod and apply a new Pod at a different infusion site. Contact your healthcare provider. Treat the infection according to instructions from your healthcare provider. If you see blood in your cannula, check your glucose more frequently to ensure insulin delivery has not been affected. If you experience unexpected high glucose, change your Pod. Caution: Use caution while cleaning the Pod on your body. Hold the Pod securely so the cannula does not kink and the Pod does not detach from your skin. Caution: DO NOT use strong detergents or solvents such as cleaning solutions, aerosol sunscreen, or aerosol bug spray on your Pod. The use of such items can irritate the infusion site or damage the Pod. Keep sterile materials away from any possible contamination. Controller Caution: ALWAYS apply the Pod as directed. If you are applying a Pod in a place that does not have a lot of fatty tissue, squeeze the skin around the Pod until after the cannula has inserted. Blockages (occlusions) may result if you do not use this technique for lean areas. Caution: ALWAYS rotate insulin infusion sites to help prevent infusion site complications like scar tissue and infection. Rotating insulin infusion sites reduces the risk of scarring. Using a site with scar tissue can lead to problems with insulin absorption. Caution: AVOID turning Automatic Time Zone OFF on the Controller. If you turn Automatic Time Zone OFF, your Controller will not be able to detect when your device time zone and insulin delivery time zone do not match. Delivering insulin based on a different time zone than your local time may cause errors in insulin delivery and data logging, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Caution: ALWAYS plug in and charge your Controller when you see the low battery message. If the battery charge 23 Important Safety InformationImportant Safety Information becomes critically low, the Controller turns itself off, and you will not receive a low battery hazard alarm. Without the use of the Controller, you will not be able to make changes to your insulin delivery, which could result in the over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin that can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Caution: DO NOT expose your Controller battery to high heat [>
86F (> 30C) during storage and >
104F (>40C) during use]. Do not puncture, crush, or apply pressure to your battery. Failure to follow these instructions could result in an explosion, fire, electric shock, damage to the Controller or battery, or battery leakage. Caution: DO NOT expose your Controller to extreme temperatures while in storage or during use. Extreme heat or cold can cause the Controller to malfunction. Extreme heat is defined as >86F (30C) during storage and
>104F (40C) during use. Extreme cold is defined as <32F (0C) during storage and < 41F (5C) during use. Caution: Use ONLY the USB charging cable that you received in the box with your Controller. AVOID using alternative charging cables or other accessories, as they may damage the Controller or affect the way it charges in the future. If you must use a different cable, use only cables less than or equal to 4 feet (1.2 meters) in length. Caution: DO NOT place the Controller in or near water because the Controller is not waterproof. Failure to do so could result in damage to the Controller. 24 Caution: DO NOT use solvents to clean your Controller. DO NOT immerse your Controller in water as it is not waterproof. The use of solvents or immersion in water could result in damage to the Controller. Caution: DO NOT allow debris or liquid to get into the USB port, speaker, sound/vibrate button, or Power button while cleaning the Controller. Failure to do so could result in damage to the Controller. Smartphone Caution: DO NOT navigate away from the Omnipod 5 App while you are in the process of making changes to your insulin delivery settings. If you leave the App before you are able to save the setting change and before the App is able to put the setting change into effect, the system will continue to use your last saved settings. As a result, you may continue with therapy settings that you did not intend. If you are unsure about whether your changes were saved, review your settings. Caution: DO NOT stop the Omnipod 5 App in a way that stops it from running in the background (called force stopping) on your smartphone. The Omnipod 5 App must be open or be running in the background in order to display and sound alarms on the smartphone. If the App is not running, you could miss important alarms and notifications on the smartphone. If you do not hear alarms and notifications from your smartphone, you might not make the changes you need to make to your therapy in a timely manner. Your Pod will continue to operate and sound alarms. In addition, if you stop the Omnipod 5 App while sending commands to the Pod, the command Important Safety InformationImportant Safety Information can be interrupted and may not be completed.
"26.5. Pod Communication Issues
"Try Again"" on page 337. Caution: DO NOT delete the Omnipod 5 App while you have an active Pod, and DO NOT clear the Omnipod 5 App data. If you do, your Pod will remain active, but you will not be able to control your Pod even if you re-install or re-open the App. You must remove the Pod in order to stop receiving insulin. Caution: DO NOT attempt to use the Omnipod 5 App on a smartphone device with unauthorized modifications. If you do, you will not be able to use the Omnipod 5 App. Caution: DO NOT install apps on your smartphone from untrusted sources. These apps may contain malware that may impact use of the Omnipod 5 App. Install apps only from trusted sources (i.e. Google Play). Caution: DO NOT enable any app development settings on your smartphone. Enabling these settings may cause issues with the Omnipod 5 App and prevent normal app operation. Communication Caution: When there is no communication between the Pod and the Controller or smartphone, the Pod continues delivering insulin according to settings active on the Pod before losing communication. For example, automated insulin delivery from the Pod will continue in Automated Mode. Restoring communication is needed to see your system status, notifications, and to send new instructions to the Pod. To restore communication try bringing the Controller or smartphone within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the Pod. See Caution: DO NOT use portable radio frequency (RF) communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) closer than 12 inches (30 cm) to any part of the Omnipod 5 System, as it may impact the communication between your smartphone or Controller and your Pod. Alarms and Sound Caution: ALWAYS respond to Pod Expiration, Low Pod Insulin, and Pod Shut- Off Advisory Alarms when they occur. These alarms escalate to Hazard Alarms if no action is taken. When Hazard Alarms occur, insulin delivery stops. Caution: Permanently silencing a Pod alarm requires the Pod to be removed from your body. Once removed and discarded, promptly activate a new Pod to avoid going too long without insulin, which could lead to hyperglycemia. Caution: ALWAYS check the alarm function when you change the Pod if you suspect any issue with the Pod's sounds to ensure you don't miss important alarms during use (see
"Check alarms" on page 161). Caution: ALWAYS make sure you can hear alarms and notifications when paired to alternative audio devices (e.g. Bluetooth speaker, headphones). Caution: AVOID setting your Controller or smartphone to Silent, Vibrate or any other setting that prevents you from hearing alarms and notifications from your Omnipod 5 App, such as Digital Wellbeing for 25 Important Safety InformationImportant Safety Information Android tools that limit sounds and notifications. If you do not hear alarms and notifications from your Controller or smartphone, you might not make the changes you need to make to your insulin therapy in a timely manner. Your Pod will still sound, and you will be able see the Alarm or Notification displayed on the Omnipod 5 App. See

Saving Your Settings for Reference Caution: DO NOT reset the Omnipod 5 App or clear the app data before checking with your healthcare provider. This will erase all of your settings, Adaptive Basal Rate, and history, and require you to change your active Pod. Before resetting or clearing app data, make sure you have a current record of your settings and a new Pod with supplies to use when restarting the app. Caution: If you decide later to switch between the Controller and your smartphone, you will need to start setup again on the new device. New setup requires entry of all your personalized settings. Consult with your healthcare provider if you are unsure about how to set up the new device. If you are wearing a Pod and need to switch devices, you will need to deactivate your Pod and activate a new one, since the Pod cannot communicate with two devices at one time. If possible, wait to switch between devices until a scheduled Pod change. Caution: DO NOT delete the Omnipod 5 App while you have an active Pod, and DO NOT clear the Omnipod 5 App data. If you do, your Pod will remain active, but you will not be able to control your Pod even if you re-install or re-
open the App. You must remove the Pod in order to stop receiving insulin. Before you begin using your Omnipod 5 App, write down or take photos of all your settings and keep them in a secure location that you can reference in the future. This list will be helpful if you ever need to go through the setup process again and re-enter your insulin therapy settings.

Beginning the Pod Activation Process Warning: DO NOT wear a Pod if you are sensitive to or have allergies to acrylic adhesives, or have fragile or easily damaged skin. Applying a Pod under these circumstances could put your health at risk. Warning: ALWAYS be prepared to inject insulin with an alternative method if insulin delivery from the Pod is interrupted. You are at increased risk for developing hyperglycemia if insulin delivery is interrupted because the Pod only uses rapid-acting U-100 insulin. Failure to have an alternative method of insulin delivery can lead to very high glucose or diabetic ketoacidosis
(DKA). Ask your healthcare provider for instructions for handling interrupted insulin delivery. Warning: DO NOT allow small children access to small parts, such as the Pod and its accessories, including the tab. Small parts could be swallowed and pose a choking hazard. If ingested or swallowed, these small parts could cause internal injury or infection. Warning: NEVER use insulin that is expired or cloudy in the Pod as it may be damaged. Using damaged or expired insulin could cause hyperglycemia and put your health at risk. Caution: ALWAYS follow these steps in preparing your site. If your site is not cleaned properly or if your hands are dirty, you increase your risk of infection. Wash your hands. Clean the top of the insulin vial with an alcohol prep swab. Clean your infusion site with soap and water or an alcohol prep swab, and let it dry completely. Keep sterile materials away from any possible contamination. Caution: DO NOT use a Pod if the sterile packaging is open or damaged, the Pod has been dropped after removal from the package, or the Pod is expired as the Pod may not work properly and increase your risk of infection. Caution: DO NOT use any component of the Omnipod 5 System
(smartphone, Controller, Pod) if you suspect damage after an unexpected event such as dropping or hitting on a hard surface. Using damaged components may put your health at risk as the system may not be working properly. If you are unsure if one or more of your components are damaged, stop using the system and call Customer Care for support. Caution: ALWAYS rotate insulin infusion sites to help prevent infusion site complications like scar tissue and infection. Rotating insulin infusion sites reduces the risk of scarring. Using a site with scar tissue can lead to problems with insulin absorption. 80 Activating and Changing Your Pod55Activating and Changing Your Pod After initial Omnipod 5 App setup, you will activate your first Pod. Your Pod should be changed at least once every 48 to 72 hours (2 to 3 days) or after delivering 200 units of insulin. Consult with your healthcare provider to determine if you should change your Pod more often. Before activating a Pod, do the following:
1. Gather the necessary supplies:
A vial of rapid-acting U-100 insulin cleared for use in the Omnipod 5 System. See "1.4. Compatible Insulins" on page 7 for a list of the approved insulin types that can be used with the Omnipod 5 System. An unopened Omnipod 5 Pod Alcohol prep swabs Controller or smartphone with Omnipod 5 App 2. Wash your hands before starting and keep them clean throughout the Pod 3. Check the insulin for signs of deterioration according to the manufacturer's change process. instructions for use. Pod for signs of damage. 4. Check the Pod's packaging for damage. If undamaged, open it and inspect the 5. If the insulin or Pod is below 50F (10C), allow it to warm up to room temperature before proceeding. Confirm that you are using an Omnipod 5 Pod prior to beginning Pod activation. Look for the Omnipod 5 logo on the Pod tray lid and the words Omnipod 5 on your Pod.

don't ask again," you will need to tap APP INFO to allow the permission in your smartphone settings. 82 Activating and Changing Your Pod55Activating and Changing Your Pod 5.3. Fill the Syringe with Insulin Warning: NEVER inject large bubbles or pockets of air when filling the Pod with insulin. Air in the system takes up space where insulin should be and can affect insulin delivery. Doing so could result in over-delivery or under-
delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. The next step is to fill the syringe that came with the Pod (the "fill syringe") with insulin:
1. Use an alcohol prep swab to clean the top of the 2. Securely twist the fill needle onto the fill syringe. 3. Pull outward to remove the protective cap from insulin vial. the needle. 4. Determine how much insulin you will put into the Pod. For example, to use the Pod for 72 hours, determine how much insulin you will use over the next 72 hours. Your healthcare provider can help you determine the correct amount. Pull apart Note: The Pod requires a minimum of 85 units of U-100 insulin to begin operation. The Pod can deliver up to 200 units of U-100 insulin. 5. Draw air into the fill syringe up to the amount of insulin you want. 6. Insert the needle into the insulin vial and inject the air. Injecting air makes it easier to withdraw insulin from the vial. 7. Turn the vial of U-100 insulin and the fill syringe upside down. Pull down on the plunger to withdraw the desired amount of insulin from the vial into the fill syringe. Fill the syringe at least to the MIN
(minimum) fill line. To fill the Pod with enough insulin to deliver 200 units, pull the plunger down until it stops. This will be below the 200 mark. 8. With the needle still in the vial, flick the side of the syringe with your fingertip to dislodge any air bubbles so they collect at the top of the syringe. Then push in the plunger to expel any air bubbles out of the syringe and into the insulin vial. Pull down on the plunger again, if necessary, to refill the fill syringe to the desired amount of insulin. 9. Remove the needle from the vial.

Filling, Activating, Applying, and Starting the Pod Warning: NEVER use a Pod if, while you are filling the Pod, you feel significant resistance while pressing the plunger down on the fill syringe. Do not try to force the insulin into the Pod. Significant resistance may indicate that the Pod has a mechanical defect. Using this Pod could result in under-
delivery of insulin that can lead to hyperglycemia. Warning: NEVER inject large bubbles or pockets of air when filling the Pod with insulin. Air in the system takes up space where insulin should be and can affect insulin delivery. Doing so could result in over-delivery or under-
delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Caution: ALWAYS insert the fill syringe into the fill port and not into any other location on the Pod. Do not insert the fill syringe more than once into the fill port. Use only the fill syringe and needle that came with your Pod. The fill syringe is intended for single use only and should only be used with the Omnipod 5 System. Failure to follow the instructions above may result in damage to your Pod. 84 Activating and Changing Your Pod55Activating and Changing Your Pod 5.4.

Insert the fill syringe straight downnot at an angleinto the fill port. 3. Depress the fill syringe plunger to transfer the insulin into the Pod. Listen for two beeps from the Pod during the filling process (screen step
4. Be sure to completely empty the fill syringe, even after hearing the two beeps. Note: The Pod must contain a minimum of 85 units of insulin to function. The Pod beeps twice after it has been filled with 85 units of insulin. If you filled the Pod with more than 85 units and still do not hear the two beeps, contact Customer Care. Note: After filling the Pod, continue to the next step immediately. If two hours pass before activating the filled Pod, the Pod becomes unusable. 5. Remove the needle from the insulin fill port. The port is self-sealing; insulin will not leak after the needle is removed. 6. Discard the fill needle in a sharps container. Activate the Pod To activate the Pod:
1. Place the Controller or smartphone running the Omnipod 5 App next to the Pod so they are touching. The Pod should be in its plastic tray during this process. Note: ALWAYS ensure that no other Pods are being activated within 20 feet
(6 m) of your Omnipod 5 App before filling a Pod. If the App detects more than one Pod, you will not be able to proceed. 2. Tap NEXT. 85 Activating and Changing Your Pod55Activating and Changing Your Pod If more than one, non-paired, filled Omnipod 5 Pod is in range, the Omnipod 5 App informs you of this and prevents you from completing activation. Move at least 20 feet (6 m) away from any other filled Omnipod 5 Pod and tap TRY AGAIN. Only Omnipod 5 Pods are compatible with the Omnipod 5 System. If you try to use an older Pod that cannot communicate with the system, the Omnipod 5 App informs you of this and prevents you from completing activation. Tap DISCARD POD and restart Pod activation with an Omnipod 5 Pod. If the Omnipod 5 App is able to communicate with the Pod but detects an incompatible Pod, the Omnipod 5 App informs you of this and prevents you from completing activation. Tap DISCARD POD and restart Pod activation with an Omnipod 5 Pod. 3. Listen for the tone from the Omnipod 5 App that indicates the Pod is activated and ready to be applied. Note: After activating a Pod, the Omnipod 5 App should always be able to communicate with a Pod that is up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) away. Depending on the location, the Omnipod 5 App may be able to communicate with a Pod that is as much as 50 feet (15 meters) away. Note: After activating, the Pod beeps every 5 minutes until you apply it. If you do not apply it and do not begin insulin delivery within 60 minutes after activating, the Pod becomes unusable. If you see a communication error message when you attempt to activate your Pod, and you are not using an older Pod, see "Error when activating a Pod" on page 339. 86 Activating and Changing Your Pod55Activating and Changing Your Pod Prepare the Pod Site Caution: ALWAYS rotate insulin infusion sites to help prevent infusion site complications like scar tissue and infection.

Up, down, or slight angle Horizontal or diagonal Front Up, down, or slight angle For optimal connectivity, the Pod should be placed at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) from and within line of sight to the CGM. The Bluetooth connection between the CGM and the Pod does not travel well through the body. Keeping both devices within line of sight allows for consistent CGM communication with the Pod. See "19.2. CGM Placement" on page 275. Back Note: Line of sight means that the Pod and CGM are worn on the same side of the body in a way that the two devices can "see" one another without your body blocking their communication 3. Apply the Pod to the selected infusion site, pressing down firmly to secure the Pod to your skin. The adhesive is designed for one-time use. After a Pod is placed on your body, you cannot move that Pod to another infusion site. Note: The Pods adhesive keeps it securely in place for up to 3 days. However, if necessary, several products are available to help with peeling adhesive. Ask your healthcare provider about these products. Avoid getting any lotion, creams, sprays, or oils near the infusion site as these products may loosen the adhesive. Begin Insulin Delivery Caution: ALWAYS apply the Pod as directed. If you are applying a Pod in a place that does not have a lot of fatty tissue, squeeze the skin around the Pod until after the cannula has inserted. Blockages (occlusions) may result if you do not use this technique for lean areas. 91 Activating and Changing Your Pod55Activating and Changing Your Pod

1. 2. Tap START to insert the cannula. Confirm Pod is securely attached 1. Confirm that the Pod is securely attached to your body, then tap YES. 2. If you are squeezing your skin, stop squeezing when the Omnipod 5 App asks if the cannula is properly inserted. 5.5. Checking Your Infusion Site Warning: ALWAYS check the infusion site often to make sure the cannula is properly inserted and secured to the Pod. Verify that there is no wetness or scent of insulin, which may indicate that the cannula has dislodged. An improperly inserted, loose, or dislodged cannula could result in under-
delivery of insulin which can lead to hyperglycemia. Warning: NEVER attempt to inject insulin (or anything else) into the fill port while the Pod is on your body. Attempting to do so could result in over-
delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Following insertion of the cannula, check the Pod and infusion site:
1. Look through the viewing window on the edge of the Pod to verify that the cannula is inserted into the skin. The cannula is tinted light blue. 2. Verify that there is a pink color on top of Pod. This is an additional check that the cannula was inserted. Check here for light blue cannula Check here for pink color 3. Verify that there is no wetness or scent of insulin at the infusion site. The presence of either may indicate that the cannula has dislodged. If the cannula is not properly inserted, tap NO. Then tap DEACTIVATE POD. Restart the process with a new Pod. If the cannula is properly inserted, tap YES. 5. 4. Pod setup is complete. The screen shows details about the active Pod and a list of reminders. 92 Activating and Changing Your Pod55Activating and Changing Your Pod Once the cannula is inserted, the Pod automatically fills the cannula with insulin. The Pod then begins delivering the basal rate of insulin according to the Basal Program in progress. The cannula can be inserted only once with each Pod. 6. Review the list of active reminders, then tap CLOSE. Note: 90 minutes after Pod activation, a Check BG reminder prompts you to check your blood glucose reading and infusion site. This additional safety feature helps ensure that the cannula was properly inserted. In either Manual or Automated Mode, if a valid CGM value is received, this reminder will not display. Check BG After Pod Change" on page 201. If the Omnipod 5 App has a See "
CGM value displayed you will not receive this reminder. Caution: ALWAYS check the alarm function when you change the Pod if you suspect any issue with the Pod's sounds to ensure you don't miss important alarms during use (see "Check alarms" on page 161). 5.6. Switching to Automated Mode An active Pod and CGM transmitter serial number are required to switch to Automated Mode. If you have a CGM transmitter serial number entered in the Omnipod 5 App, you will be prompted to switch to Automated Mode after activating your Pod. To switch to Automated Mode:
Tap YES To continue in Manual Mode:
Tap NO You can switch from Manual Mode to Automated Mode at a later time. See "22.1. Switching from Manual Mode to Automated Mode" on page 298. Note: After switching to Automated Mode, you may see Automated Mode:

Deactivating an Active Pod Warning: DO NOT apply a new Pod until you have deactivated and removed the old Pod. A Pod that is not deactivated properly can continue to deliver insulin as programmed, putting you at risk of over-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia. Caution: NEVER reuse the Pod or fill syringe or try to use a fill syringe that did not come with your Pod. Always dispose of the used Pod and fill syringe according to local disposal guidelines. Only use a new Pod with included fill syringe with each Pod change. Always carry supplies to perform a Pod change should you need to replace your Pod at any time. To deactivate and remove an active Pod:
1. Navigate to the Pod change screen:
Home > POD INFO tab > VIEW POD DETAILS or Menu button (
) > Pod 2. Tap CHANGE POD, then tap DEACTIVATE POD. If a temp basal, extended bolus, or the Activity feature was in progress, it is canceled now. If you see a communication error message, see "Error when activating a Pod" on page 339. When you deactivate your Pod, the system exits Automated Mode. When the new Pod is activated, the system will be in Manual Mode; however, you will be prompted to enter Automated Mode if you have a CGM transmitter serial number entered in to the Omnipod 5 App. 3. Remove the deactivated Pod from your body:
a. Gently lift the edges of the adhesive tape from your skin and remove the entire Pod. Tip: Remove the Pod slowly to help avoid possible skin irritation. b. Use soap and water to remove any adhesive that remains on the skin, or, if necessary, use an adhesive remover. 94 Activating and Changing Your Pod55Activating and Changing Your Pod c. Check the infusion site for signs of infection (see "Avoiding Infusion Site Infections" on page 95). d. Dispose of the used Pod according to local waste disposal regulations. 4. To activate a new Pod, tap SET UP NEW POD . 5.8. More Information about Pod Use Avoiding Infusion Site Infections Caution: ALWAYS rotate insulin infusion sites to help prevent infusion site complications like scar tissue and infection. Rotating insulin infusion sites reduces the risk of scarring. Using a site with scar tissue can lead to problems with insulin absorption. Caution: DO NOT use a Pod if the sterile packaging is open or damaged, the Pod has been dropped after removal from the package, or the Pod is expired as the Pod may not work properly and increase your risk of infection. Caution: ALWAYS follow these steps in preparing your site. If your site is not cleaned properly or if your hands are dirty, you increase your risk of infection. Wash your hands. Clean the top of the insulin vial with an alcohol prep swab. Clean your infusion site with soap and water or an alcohol prep swab, and let it dry completely. Keep sterile materials away from any possible contamination. Caution: ALWAYS check for signs of infection often. If an infusion site shows signs of infection:
Immediately remove the Pod and apply a new Pod at a different infusion site. Contact your healthcare provider. Treat the infection according to instructions from your healthcare provider. If you see blood in your cannula, check your glucose more frequently to ensure insulin delivery has not been affected. If you experience unexpected high glucose, change your Pod. Check the infusion site at least once a day:
Be aware of signs of infection, including pain, swelling, redness, discharge, or heat at the infusion site. If you suspect an infection, immediately remove the 95 Activating and Changing Your Pod55Activating and Changing Your Pod Pod and apply a new Pod in a different location. Then contact your healthcare provider. If you observe any problems with the Pod, deactivate the Pod and activate a new one. Additional Information Tip: Develop a routine so you can change your Pod at a convenient time. If you know of an upcoming event that could interfere with changing your Pod, you can change your Pod early to avoid a disruption in insulin delivery. For additional information on using your Pods as effectively as possible, see the following sections:

Basal Insulin Delivery Even without eating, our bodies need a small, constant supply of insulin for normal daily living, which is referred to as "basal" insulin. In people without diabetes, the pancreas continuously delivers this basal insulin. For people using the Omnipod 5 System, the Pod can mimic a pancreas of a person without diabetes by delivering basal insulin continuously as your wear the Pod. About half of a persons total daily insulin (TDI) dose typically comes from basal insulin delivery; the other half typically comes from bolus doses. In the Omnipod 5 System, basal delivery occurs differently depending on which of the two modes you are operating in: Manual or Automated. Manual Mode Basal Programs A basal rate is the number of units of insulin delivered per hour. A basal segment defines the time of day during which a given basal rate is delivered. A collection of basal segments covering a midnight-to-midnight period is called a "Basal Program." In other words, a Basal Program describes the rate of insulin delivery throughout an entire 24-hour period. This figure shows a Basal Program with three basal segments that deliver 7.4 U total in a 24 hour period. Basal Program Basal segment 2 Basal segment 1 Basal segment 3 1 .0 0 .8 0 .6 0 .4 0 .2 0

U
e t a R l a s a B Midnight 6 am Noon 6 pm Midnight 101 Basal Programs66Basal Programs Insulin needs vary throughout the day. Therefore, most people set their basal rates to deliver more or less insulin at certain times of the day. For example, you could deliver a lower rate of insulin during the night and a higher rate during the day. In order to create the Basal Program shown in the example above, the following basal segments are programmed into the Omnipod 5 App:
Segment Basal rate 1: Midnight10:00 am 0.20 U/hr Between midnight and 10:00 am, the Pod delivers 0.20 units of insulin per hour. 2: 10:00 am2:00 pm 0.60 U/hr Between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, the Pod delivers 0.60 units of insulin per hour. 3: 2:00 pmmidnight 0.30 U/hr Between 2:00 pm and midnight, the Pod delivers 0.30 units of insulin per hour. You may have different routines on different days of the week; for example, your weekend routine may differ from your weekday routine. To handle these predictable changes in your routine, you can create up to 12 different Basal Programs (see "6.3. Creating New Basal Programs" on page 99). 102 6Basal Programs CHAPTER 7 Temporary Basal Rates and Presets Contents 7.1. About Temporary Basal Rates . 104 7.2. Starting a Temp Basal . 105 7.3.

About Temporary Basal Rates When in Manual Mode, you can use a temporary basal rate, or temp basal, to handle a temporary change in your routine. For example, a temp basal can be used when you are exercising or when you are sick. When a temp basal ends, the Pod will start delivering the scheduled Basal Program. If there is a temp basal that you use often, you can create a "temp basal preset" for rapid activation in the future. To create a temp basal preset, see page 107. You can create up to 12 temp basal presets. To turn ON or OFF the ability to start temp basals, or to change between specifying the temp basal as a percentage or in U/hr, see page 132. Tip: By default, the Omnipod 5 App or Pod sounds a tone at the beginning and end of a temp basal and every 60 minutes while a temp basal is running. To turn these ON or OFF, see "13.3. Sounds and Vibrations" on page 157. Before you create or change a temporary basal rate, do the following:
Temp basal setting must be ON. If it is OFF, see "10.3. Basal and Temp Basal Settings" on page 132. If the Omnipod 5 System is currently in Automated Mode, switch to Manual Mode. See "22.2. Switching from Automated Mode to Manual Mode" on page 300. 104 Temporary Basal Rates and Presets77Temporary Basal Rates and Presets 7.2.

Once deleted, the action cannot be undone and you will have to recreate the temp basal preset if needed. 7.7. Temporary Basal Rates Delivery A temp basal lets you override the currently running Basal Program by setting a different basal rate for a predetermined period of time. This feature is only available in Manual Mode. For example, if you are going cross-country skiing for several hours, you could set a temp basal to lower your basal rate during and after your exercise (see
"Temporary Basal Rates and Presets" on page 103). Temp basals can last from 30 minutes to 12 hours. At the end of the specified time, the Pod automatically goes back to the programmed basal rate. 109 Temporary Basal Rates and Presets77Temporary Basal Rates and Presets Temp basal settings: Units per hour (U/hr) or percent (%) Temp basals can be set using percent (%) or units per hour (U/hr). Setting temp basals to units per hour (U/hr) means that the Pod delivers insulin at a flat rate for the duration of the temp basal. In other words, the details of the currently scheduled Basal Program are ignored during these temp basals. Setting temp basals to percent (%) means insulin delivery follows the pattern defined by the currently scheduled Basal Program but increases or decreases the insulin delivery by the specified percentage. For example, a 50% increase raises the Basal Program's insulin delivery by 50%, while a 50% decrease lowers the Basal Program's insulin delivery by 50%.

* Segments are defined by the currently scheduled Basal Program. 0.30 Temp basal limitations Prohibited temp basals: You cannot set a temp basal of 0%, as there would be no change from the Basal Program in progress. Maximum temp basal:
When using percent (%), you can set the temp basal up to 95% more than your Basal Program in progress's rate with the following exception: You cannot set a temp basal that would go above your Maximum Basal Rate during any time segment covered by the temp basal duration. When using a flat rate (U/hr), you cannot set a temp basal above your Maximum Basal Rate. Temp basals that turn off basal insulin delivery: When using percent (%), if you set a decrease that results in a flow of less than 0.05 U/hr for a segment, the Omnipod 5 App informs you that you will receive 0 U/hr of insulin for one or more segments. If the temp basal is long enough, you will eventually receive some insulin. This is because the Pod delivers insulin in 0.05 U pulses. For example, if the flow rate for a basal segment is 0.10 U/hr and you create a temp basal with a 60% decrease for:
One hour, the resulting flow rate of 0.04 U/hr results in no insulin being delivered for the one-hour duration of the temp basal. Two hours, the resulting flow rate of 0.04 U/hr results in the delivery of 0 U insulin in the first hour and 0.05 U insulin in the second hour. You can set a temp basal to turn off basal insulin delivery for a set period of time by using a 100% decrease or a flat rate of 0 U/hr. The Pod beeps at the start and end of a temp basal period of no basal insulin. You can still deliver boluses when using a temp basal to turn off basal insulin delivery. 111 Temporary Basal Rates and Presets77Temporary Basal Rates and Presets Tip: Using a temp basal to turn off basal insulin delivery is useful if you want your Basal Program to automatically start when the temp basal ends. Temp basal presets Some temporary changes in your daily routine are easy to predict, and you may know from experience how they affect your insulin needs. For example, you might join a summer soccer league or attend an exercise class. For people who menstruate, your monthly hormonal change can affect glucose in a predictable manner. To handle predictable, short-term changes, you can define temp basal presets
(see "Temporary Basal Rates and Presets" on page 103). Once stored, a temp basal preset can be started quickly at a later time. 112 7Temporary Basal Rates and Presets Chapter 8: Blood Glucose Readings CHAPTER 8 Blood Glucose Readings Contents 8.1.

About Blood Glucose Readings Warning: ALWAYS follow your healthcare provider's guidance on appropriate glucose monitoring to avoid hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. The Omnipod 5 System receives regular glucose values from the CGM when you have connected the CGM to an active Pod. Once connected, CGM values are displayed and can be used in the Omnipod 5 App in both Manual and Automated Modes. There may be times when you need to check your blood glucose using a separate BG meter. You may want to check your blood glucose if:
You are experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia. See "Symptoms of hypoglycemia (low glucose)" on page 217. You are experiencing symptoms of hyperglycemia. See "Symptoms of hyperglycemia (high glucose)" on page 220. You are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your CGM values. Your CGM requires calibration. For more information, refer to your Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide. You are not using a CGM to monitor glucose. Your healthcare provider advises you to do so. 114 Blood Glucose Readings88Blood Glucose Readings 8.2. Entering Your Blood Glucose Reading To enter your blood glucose reading:
1. Check your blood glucose following your BG meter's instructions for use. 2. Go to the Enter BG screen on your Omnipod 5 App:
Menu button (
Or from the SmartBolus Calculator, tap the Glucose field.
) > Enter BG 3. Manually enter or edit a blood glucose value as follows:
a. Tap the box inside the circle. b. Enter and confirm your blood glucose reading using the number pad. c. Tap Done to close the number pad. Note: Alternatively, you can enter a blood glucose reading using the circular slider (see "Using a slider" on page 33). When using the slider, "+" and "-"
buttons appear briefly. Tap these buttons to make small adjustments to the glucose number. Note: When you enter a blood glucose reading above 600 mg/dL, the Omnipod 5 App stores it as "HI". When you enter a blood glucose reading below 20 mg/dL, the Omnipod 5 App stores it as "LO". 4. After the blood glucose reading and any tags are entered, do one of the following:
Tap ADD TO CALCULATOR to save any tags and enter the blood glucose reading into the SmartBolus Calculator. Note: Until a blood glucose reading has been entered, or if insulin is paused, ADD TO CALCULATOR is disabled. Tap SAVE to save the blood glucose reading and any tags in the history records. If you accessed this screen from the SmartBolus Calculator, SAVE does not appear. Tap CANCEL, then YES, to exit the screen without saving the blood glucose reading or tags. The Omnipod 5 App records the current time as the time of the blood glucose reading. 115 Blood Glucose Readings88Blood Glucose Readings 8.3. High and Low Blood Glucose Readings Warning: ALWAYS follow your healthcare provider's guidance on appropriate glucose monitoring to avoid hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Warning: Glucose below 70 mg/dL may indicate hypoglycemia (low glucose). Glucose above 250 mg/dL may indicate hyperglycemia (high glucose). Follow your healthcare provider's suggestions for treatment. Warning: ALWAYS promptly treat hypoglycemia. Glucose at or below 55 mg/
dL indicates significant hypoglycemia (very low glucose). If left untreated, this could lead to seizure, loss of consciousness and death. Follow your healthcare provider's recommendations for treatment Warning: ALWAYS promptly treat glucose below 70 mg/dL (hypoglycemia) according to your healthcare provider's recommendations. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include weakness, sweating, nervousness, headache, or confusion. If left untreated, hypoglycemia could lead to seizure, loss of consciousness, or death. Warning: DO NOT wait to treat hypoglycemia (low glucose) or symptoms of hypoglycemia. Even if you cannot check your glucose, waiting to treat symptoms could lead to severe hypoglycemia, which can lead to seizure, loss of consciousness, or death. Warning: ALWAYS promptly treat hyperglycemia (high glucose) according to your healthcare provider's recommendations. Symptoms of hyperglycemia include fatigue, thirst, excess urination, or blurry vision. If left untreated, hyperglycemia could lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), or death. Warning: DO NOT wait to treat DKA. If left untreated, DKA can quickly lead to breathing difficulties, shock, coma, or death. Warning: ALWAYS treat "LOW" or "HIGH" CGM values and "LO"
or "HI" blood glucose readings according to your healthcare provider's recommendations. These values can indicate potentially serious conditions requiring immediate medical attention. If left untreated, these situations can quickly lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), shock, coma, or death. If the blood glucose reading is HI or above 600 mg/dL, the Omnipod 5 App records "HI" in the history. This indicates severe hyperglycemia (high glucose). If the blood glucose reading is LO or below 20 mg/dL, the Omnipod 5 App records
"LO" in the history. This indicates severe hypoglycemia (low glucose). The Omnipod 5 App indicates high and low blood glucose readings as follows. 116 Blood Glucose Readings88Blood Glucose Readings Glucose reading Above 600 mg/dL or HI 20-600 mg/dL 0-19 mg/dL or LO Screen display HI LO

For an extended bolus, the amount delivered now and extended, and the percentage (%) of the meal bolus delivered now and extended. If a bolus is ongoing, unconfirmed, or lost, how much of the bolus has been confirmed. Extended bolus events A Bolus button and banner indicate an extended bolus event:
An Extended Bolus started banner marks the time when the immediate bolus finishes and the extended bolus starts. In addition to the start time of the bolus, the banner lists the number of units extended and the duration of the extension. An Extended Bolus completed banner marks the end of the extended bolus. An Extended Bolus canceled banner marks the cancellation of an extended bolus and states the confirmed amount of the bolus that was delivered before cancellation. When the Pod has not confirmed a bolus delivery After you confirm the amount of a bolus that you want to be delivered, a bolus instruction is sent to your Pod. When the Pod completes delivery, it sends a confirmation to the Omnipod 5 App that the bolus was delivered. Before the Omnipod 5 App receives confirmation from the Pod that the bolus has been delivered, the Omnipod 5 App estimates the amount delivered. During this time, the History screens use a gray exclamation icon to indicate that the bolus is estimated. In most cases, after the Controller or smartphone running the Omnipod 5 App and Pod are back in range, the Pod confirms the bolus delivery. However, in rare cases, the Pod is unable to confirm bolus delivery due to a communication error. If you tap the DISCARD POD option in this situation, the History screens use a yellow exclamation icon to mark the bolus as unconfirmed."
If a Pod is discarded with an unconfirmed bolus, the basal and total insulin amounts for that day are also marked as unconfirmed with dashes and a yellow exclamation icon. The listed bolus amount includes the amount that was scheduled for delivery up until the Pod was discarded. 143 Browsing Your History and Records1111Browsing Your History and Records Pod Details Carbs Details A carbs icon (

Inspect insulin before using it; never use insulin that looks cloudy or discolored. Insulin that is cloudy or discolored may be old, contaminated, or inactive. Check the insulin manufacturers instructions for use and the insulin's expiration date. Pods and the Environment Avoid extreme temperatures 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. These conditions could expose the Pod to extreme temperatures and may also affect the insulin inside the Pod which could lead to hyperglycemia. The Pods operating temperature has been tested and found to operate safely between 41F and 104F (between 5C and 40C). Under normal circumstances, your body temperature keeps the Pod within a range of 73F and 98.6F (23C and 37C). Caution: NEVER use a blow dryer or hot air to dry the Controller or Pod. Extreme heat can damage the electronics. If you remove your Pod to avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, remember to check your glucose frequently. 204 Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod1414Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod Note: Check with your healthcare provider for guidelines if you plan on not using a Pod for extended periods. Note: Check the labeling for your rapid-acting insulin, as maximum insulin exposure temperatures may vary between insulins. Water and your Pod Warning: DO NOT expose your Pod to water at depths greater than 25 feet
(7.6 meters) or for longer than 60 minutes because damage to the Pod can occur. This could result in over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. The Pod is waterproof up to a depth of 25 feet (7.6 meters) for up to 60 minutes
(IP28). After swimming or similar exposure to water, rinse off the Pod with clean water and gently dry it with a towel. Cleaning Your Pod Pods are waterproof. If you need to clean a Pod, gently wash it with a clean, damp cloth, or you can use mild soap and water. However, do not use strong detergents or solvents, as they can damage the Pods casing or irritate the infusion site. Caution: Use caution while cleaning the Pod on your body. Hold the Pod securely so the cannula does not kink and the Pod does not detach from your skin. 14.2. Controller Storage and Care When you are not using your Controller, store it in a convenient, nearby location that is cool and dry. Caution: ALWAYS keep your Controller safe and within your control to ensure others cannot make changes to your insulin therapy. Do not share your Controller screen lock security with anyone. Caution: DO NOT use any component of the Omnipod 5 System
(smartphone, Controller, Pod) if you suspect damage after an unexpected event such as dropping or hitting on a hard surface. Using damaged components may put your health at risk as the system may not be working properly. If you are unsure if one or more of your components are damaged, stop using the system and call Customer Care for support. 205 Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod1414Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod Long term storage of your Controller If you are not going to use your Controller for an extended period of time, allow your battery to reach approximately 50% to 60% charge. Then press and hold the Power button to turn the Controller OFF. Your Controller and the Environment Avoid extreme temperatures Extreme operating temperatures can affect the Controller battery and interfere with Omnipod 5 System operation. Avoid using the Controller in temperatures below 41F (5C) or above 104F (40C). Caution: DO NOT expose your Controller to extreme temperatures while in storage or during use. Extreme heat or cold can cause the Controller to malfunction. Extreme heat is defined as >86F(30C) during storage and
>104F(40C) during use. Extreme cold is defined as <32F(0C) during storage and < 41F(5C) during use. Water and your Controller Caution: DO NOT place the Controller in or near water because the Controller is not waterproof. Failure to do so may result in damage to the Controller. If the Controller gets wet:
1. Dry the outside of the Controller with a clean, lint-free cloth. Caution: NEVER use a blow dryer or hot air to dry the Controller or Pod. Extreme heat can damage the electronics. 2. After the Controller has thoroughly air-dried, turn ON the Controller to see 3. If the Controller is not working, contact Customer Care. if it is working. Electrical interference The Controller and Pod are designed to withstand normal radio interference and electromagnetic fields, including airport security and cellular phones. However, as with all wireless communication technology, certain operating conditions can interrupt communication. For example, electric appliances such as microwave ovens and electric machinery located in manufacturing environments may cause interference. In most cases, interruptions are easy to resolve by moving to a new location (for more information, see "26.5. Pod Communication Issues "Try Again"" on page 337). 206 Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod1414Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod USB cable Caution: Use ONLY the USB charging cable that you received in the box with your Controller. AVOID using alternative charging cables or other accessories, as they may damage the Controller or affect the way it charges in the future. If you must use a different cable, use only cables less than or equal to 4 feet (1.2 meters) in length. Note: You can use the Controller while it is charging. Cleaning Your Controller Always keep your Controller USB port free of debris and liquids. Dirt, dust, and liquids can impair the functionality of your Controller or damage it. Caution: DO NOT use solvents to clean your Controller. DO NOT immerse your Controller in water as it is not waterproof. The use of solvents or immersion in water could cause the Controller to malfunction. To clean your Controller:

If the Controller has turned off, press and hold the Power button to see whether the Controller turns on and the Lock screen appears. Caution: Do not use the Controller if it appears damaged or is not working as it should. Do not use the Controller if its screen is broken. 14.3. Controller Battery Care The provided Controller uses a rechargeable lithium polymer battery. The battery cannot be removed from your Controller. If there is a problem with your battery or charger, contact Customer Care. Safe Use of the Controller Battery Caution: DO NOT expose your Controller battery to high heat [> 86F (>
30C) during storage and > 104F (>40C) during use]. Do not puncture, crush, or apply pressure to your battery. Failure to follow these instructions could result in an explosion, fire, electric shock, damage to the Controller or battery, or battery leakage. To safely use the rechargeable battery:
Store and charge the Controller in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prolong battery life. Avoid leaving the Controller in a car where temperature extremes can permanently damage the battery. Your Controller may become warm after prolonged use or when exposed to high temperatures. If your Controller becomes hot to the touch, unplug the USB cable if it is plugged in, and avoid touching or holding the Controller. Place it in a cool location and allow it to cool down to room temperature. Do not expose the charger to liquids, including water, rain, or snow, as this can cause malfunction. If the battery or charger is exposed to liquid, allow it to dry. Do not place the Controller on or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. The battery may explode if overheated. Do not drop the Controller. Only use an Insulet approved charger to charge your Controller. Using unapproved chargers can cause the battery to explode or damage the Controller and may void the warranty. 208 Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod1414Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod If the battery is damaged so that fluid leaks from the battery, do not allow the leaked fluid to make direct contact with your skin or eyes. If this happens, immediately flush your skin or eyes with clean water and consult a doctor. Inspect your Controller battery charger before each use. If the adapter for the charger falls in water or is cracked, do not use it. Charging the Controller Battery Caution: ALWAYS plug in and charge your Controller when you see the low battery message. If the battery charge becomes critically low, the Controller turns itself off, and you will not receive a low battery hazard alarm. Without the use of the Controller, you will not be able to make changes to your insulin delivery, which could result in over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin that can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Under normal use, the battery should hold its charge for more than one day. An Omnipod 5 App message alerts you when the battery charge is low. The battery icon in the status bar tracks the remaining charge in the battery (see "3.4. Status Bar" on page 40). To charge your Controller:
1. Assemble the charger cable by attaching its wall adapter. Caution: Use ONLY the USB charging cable that you received in the box with your Controller. AVOID using alternative charging cables or other accessories, as they may damage the Controller or affect the way it charges in the future. If you must use a different cable, use only cables less than or equal to 4 feet (1.2 meters) in length. 2. Plug the charger into an outlet. Select an outlet that you can access easily and unplug the charger from easily when necessary. 3. Plug the other end of the cable into the USB port of the Controller. 4. Charge the Controller until the battery level icon shows 100% charge. 5. Disconnect the charger from the Controller and the wall outlet. You can charge your battery many times, but all batteries have a limited lifespan. Contact Customer Care if you notice a significant deterioration in the duration of the Controller's battery charge. Note: Charging times can vary depending on the surrounding temperature and the remaining battery level. Tip: Develop a routine to charge the Controller battery at the same time every day. Do not wait for the low battery message. 209 Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod1414Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod Note: If the Controller battery is critically low and the Controller has turned OFF, your Pod continues to deliver Automated Mode insulin or Manual Mode basal insulin according to the Basal Program in progress or temp basal. If you do not charge your Controller battery, this insulin delivery continues until the Pod expires. Note: The history records stay in memory for 1 year even if the battery power is critically low. 210 14Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod CHAPTER 15 Living with Diabetes Contents 15.1.

Infusion Site Checks Caution: ALWAYS check for signs of infection often. If an infusion site shows signs of infection:
Immediately remove the Pod and apply a new Pod at a different infusion site. Contact your healthcare provider. Treat the infection according to instructions from your healthcare provider. If you see blood in your cannula, check your glucose more frequently to ensure insulin delivery has not been affected. If you experience unexpected high glucose, change your Pod. At least once a day, use the Pod's viewing window to inspect the infusion site. Check the site for:
Leakage or scent of insulin, which may indicate the cannula has dislodged Signs of infection, such as pain, swelling, redness, discharge, or heat Tip: Consider making infusion site checks a part of your daily routine, like showering or brushing your teeth. 212 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes 15.2. Being Aware of Your Glucose Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current CGM 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 defined Target Glucose, severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia may still occur. If your CGM values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check your blood glucose using a BG meter, consider treatment and/or CGM sensor calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are receiving inaccurate CGM values. Erroneously high CGM values can cause excessive insulin delivery, leading to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Erroneously low CGM values can cause prolonged insulin suspension leading to hyperglycemia, 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. When you routinely view your CGM values and/or check your glucose, you can better identify when you need to make a treatment decision or troubleshoot an issue. If you are not wearing a CGM, it is advisable to check your blood glucose at least 46 times per day (when you wake up, before each meal, and before going to bed). Check your glucose:
Whenever you feel nauseated or sick Before driving a car Whenever your glucose has been running unusually high or low If you suspect that your glucose is high or low Before, during, and after exercise As directed by your healthcare provider When using a CGM, if your CGM values are different than what you expect based on how you feel, then check your blood glucose using a BG meter to verify your CGM values accuracy. For example, if you feel shaky and sweaty, which usually means your glucose is very low, but your CGM value shows as in your acceptable range, you should confirm by checking with your BG meter. If your blood gluon readings are verified too low or too high, consider treatment. A sensor calibration may also be needed; consult your compatible Dexcom G6 System User Guide for more information. 213 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes 15.3. Traveling and Vacations It is important that you check your glucose more frequently while you are traveling. Changes in time zones, activity levels, and mealtimes can all affect your glucose. Proper preparation is important when traveling. The following sections will help you prepare for your travels. Keep Supplies Accessible On airplanes, trains, and buses, keep these items with you, rather than checking them:
Your Controller or your smartphone with the Omnipod 5 App Extra Pods An emergency kit Vials of insulin (cargo area temperatures may affect insulin) A signed letter from your healthcare provider explaining that you need to carry insulin supplies and the Omnipod 5 System Prescriptions for all medications Medications and supplies with their original prescription label Note: Generic medications may be easier to find than brand names outside your country. Snacks and hypoglycemia treatment, in case food is not available Bottled water (especially on planes) to prevent dehydration The name and phone number of your physician and of a physician at your final destination Note: For information about the recommended CGM supplies to carry, see your Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide. Note: Keep your emergency kit with you during trips or vacations (see
"Emergency Kit" on page 14). As it may be difficult or impossible to get insulin or supplies in an unfamiliar place, take more supplies than you think youll need. Tip: When you travel outside the country or for long periods of time, be sure to take extra Pod supplies. Prior to departure, contact Customer Care to inquire about additional Omnipod 5 System supplies for your trip. 214 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes Plan for Changing Time Zones If youre planning a vacation or business trip to a different time zone, you may need to adjust Basal Programs that you would typically follow while in Manual Mode. For changes of just a few hours, basal rate adjustments are minor and easy to calculate. For long-distance travel, however, figuring out the correct Basal Program can be more challenging. Your healthcare provider can help with these adjustments. Airports and Flying Airport security Before traveling by plane, familiarize yourself with the airport's security procedures and prepare your diabetes supplies for the security process and flight. Prepare for your travel:
Airport security checks and screening procedures may change, so review the airport website and the TSA website for travel updates before your trip. Arrive at the airport 2-3 hours before your flight. Have your insulin management supplies easily accessible to ensure that airport security checks run smoothly. Airport security offers the option of requesting a visual inspection of your medical supplies rather than putting them through the X-ray. You must request this before the screening process begins. Your medical supplies should be in a separate bag when you approach the security officer. To prevent contamination or damage to your supplies, you should be asked at the security checkpoint to display, handle, and repack your own supplies during the visual inspection process. Any medication and/or associated supplies that cannot be cleared visually must be submitted for X-ray screening. If you are concerned about going through the walk-through metal detector, notify the security officer that youre wearing an insulin pump. You should advise the security officer that the insulin pump cannot be removed because it is inserted with a catheter (tubing) under the skin. Visit the TSA Contact Center if you have any further questions or concerns. Note: For information about passing CGM equipment through airport X-ray machines, see your Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide. 215 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes Flying and airplane mode Caution: ALWAYS check your glucose frequently during amusement park rides and flying or other situations where sudden changes or extremes of air pressure, altitude, or gravity may be occurring. Though the Omnipod 5 System is safe to use at atmospheric pressures typically found in airplane cabins during flight, the atmosphere pressure in an airplane cabin can change during flight, which may affect the Pod's insulin delivery. Rapid changes in altitude and gravity, such as those typically found on amusement park rides or flight take-off and landing, can affect insulin delivery, leading to possible hypoglycemia or injury. If needed, follow your healthcare provider's treatment instructions. The Omnipod 5 System sends and receives information from the Pod using Bluetooth wireless technology. Before flying, check your airline's policy regarding the use of Personal Medical Electronic Devices that communicate using Bluetooth technology. If the use of a Personal Medical Electronic Device using Bluetooth technology is allowed, set your Omnipod 5 App to airplane mode while on the airplane (see
"Airplane mode" on page 124). The Bluetooth setting remains enabled in the Controller's Airplane Mode so you can communicate with your Pod. Note: The Omnipod 5 System is safe to use at atmospheric pressures typically found in airplane cabins during flight. The Omnipod 5 System can be used at atmospheric pressures as low as 700 hPa, which is lower than the typical pressure in airplane cabins. 15.4. Avoiding Lows, Highs, and Diabetic Ketoacidosis You can avoid most risks related to using the Omnipod 5 System by following the instructions in this User Guide and by promptly treating symptoms of hypoglycemia (low glucose), hyperglycemia (high glucose), or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) according to your healthcare providers instructions. The easiest and most reliable way to avoid these conditions is to check your glucose often. General Precautions Keep careful records and discuss changes and adjustments with your healthcare provider. Tell your healthcare provider if you have extreme high glucose or low glucose, or if high glucose or low glucose are occurring more often than usual. 216 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes If you have technical problems with your Omnipod 5 System and cannot resolve them, contact Customer Care immediately. Hypoglycemia (Low Glucose) Warning: DO NOT wait to treat hypoglycemia (low glucose) or symptoms of hypoglycemia. Even if you cannot check your glucose, waiting to treat symptoms could lead to severe hypoglycemia, which can lead to seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Hypoglycemia can occur even when a Pod is working properly. Never ignore the signs of low glucose, no matter how mild. If left untreated, severe hypoglycemia can cause seizures or lead to unconsciousness. If you suspect that your glucose is low, check your glucose to confirm. Symptoms of hypoglycemia (low glucose) Never ignore the following symptoms, as they could be signs of hypoglycemia:
Shakiness Fatigue Unexplained sweating Cold, clammy skin Weakness Blurred vision or a headache Sudden hunger Rapid heart rate Confusion Tingling in the lips or tongue Anxiety Tip: Hypoglycemia unawareness is a condition in which you do not realize when your glucose is low. If you are prone to hypoglycemia unawareness, you may want to use the Omnipod 5 System's blood glucose reminder and check your glucose more frequently (see "Check BG After Bolus" on page 236). Tip: Make sure your glucose is at least 100 mg/dL before driving or working with dangerous machinery or equipment. Hypoglycemia may cause you to lose control of a car or dangerous equipment. Also, when you focus intently on a task, you may miss the symptoms of hypoglycemia. Tip: Teach people you trust (like family members and close friends) how to administer glucagon dosage. You will need to rely on them to give it to you if you have severe hypoglycemia and become unconscious. Include a copy of the glucagon instructions in your emergency kit and periodically review the procedure with family and friends. 217 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes To avoid hypoglycemia (low glucose) Work with your healthcare provider to establish individualized Target Glucose settings and guidelines. Keep a fast-acting carbohydrate with you at all times to respond quickly to low glucose. Examples of fast-acting carbs are glucose tablets, hard candies, or juice. Teach your friends, family members, and colleagues to recognize the signs of hypoglycemia so they can help if you develop hypoglycemia unawareness or a severe adverse reaction. Keep a glucagon kit with your emergency supplies. Teach friends and family members how to administer a glucagon dosage in case you have severe hypoglycemia and become unconscious. Periodically check the expiration date of your glucagon kit to make sure it has not expired. Note: Always carry medical identification (such as an emergency wallet card) and wear an emergency medical necklace or bracelet such as the Medic Alert tag. Again, frequent glucose checks are the key to avoiding potential problems. Detecting low glucose early lets you treat it before it becomes a problem. Check with your healthcare provider for guidance in avoiding low glucose. Possible causes of hypoglycemia Suggested action Incorrect Basal Program
(Manual Mode) Confirm that the correct Basal Program is active. Consult your healthcare provider about adjusting your Basal Programs or using a temp basal. Take bolus with food. Check blood glucose before giving a meal bolus. If necessary, adjust the bolus. Check the bolus size and timing. Do not overcorrect for post-meal glucose. Check carb intake. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance. Consult your healthcare provider about refining these settings as needed. Incorrect bolus timing or bolus too large Incorrect Target Glucose level or incorrect Correction Factor or incorrect IC Ratio 218 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes Possible causes of hypoglycemia Prone to severe hypoglycemia or hypoglycemia unawareness Unplanned physical activity Low carbohydrate intake prior to activity Alcohol consumption Suggested action Consult your healthcare provider about hypoglycemia unawareness and about raising Target Glucose. Consult with your healthcare provider about using Temp Basal (Manual Mode) or the Activity feature
(Automated Mode). Adjust insulin delivery as instructed by your healthcare provider. Check glucose before, during, and after activity and treat as necessary. Consult your healthcare provider about adjusting your Basal Programs or using a temp basal (Manual Mode) or the Activity feature (Automated Mode) to avoid hypoglycemia. Check glucose before activity. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance. Check glucose frequently, especially before going to bed. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance. Prolonged or intense exercise Note: Effects of exercise can last several hours even a full dayafter activity ends. To treat hypoglycemia (low glucose) Any time your glucose is low, treat it immediately according to your healthcare providers instructions. Your healthcare provider might recommend that you treat hypoglycemia with a different amount of carbs during Automated Mode compared to Manual Mode. Check your glucose every 15 minutes while you are treating to make sure you dont overtreat the condition and cause glucose levels to rise too high. Contact your healthcare provider as needed for guidance. 219 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes Hyperglycemia (High Glucose) Warning: ALWAYS monitor your glucose and follow your healthcare provider's treatment guidelines when you stop receiving insulin due to a blockage (occlusion). Not taking action promptly could result in under-
delivery of insulin which can lead to hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis
(DKA) (see"
Blockage Detected" on page 163). Pods use rapid-acting insulin, which has a shorter duration than long-acting insulin, so you have no long-acting insulin in your body when using the Omnipod 5 System. If a blockage (interruption of insulin delivery from the Pod, or occlusion) occurs, your glucose can rise rapidly. Tip: Hyperglycemia symptoms can be confusing. Always check your glucose before you treat for hyperglycemia. Symptoms of hyperglycemia (high glucose) Never ignore the following symptoms, as they could be a sign of hyperglycemia:
Fatigue Frequent urination, especially during the night Unusual thirst or hunger Unexplained weight loss Blurred vision Slow healing of cuts or sores To avoid hyperglycemia (high glucose) Check your glucose:
At least 46 times a day (when you wake up, before each meal, and before going to bed); unless you are using a continuous glucose monitoring system If you feel nauseated or sick Before driving a car Whenever your glucose has been running unusually high or low If you suspect that your glucose is high or low Before, during, and after exercise As directed by your healthcare provider 220 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes Suggested action Deactivate and remove the used Pod. Apply a new Pod filled from a new vial of insulin. Infusion site in or near a scar or mole Deactivate and remove the used Pod. Apply a new Pod in a different location. Possible causes of hyperglycemia Expired insulin or insulin exposed to extreme temperatures Infected infusion site Dislodged cannula Empty Pod Incorrect Basal Program
(Manual Mode) Incorrect bolus timing or bolus too small High-protein or high-fat meal Less activity than usual Glucose greater than 250 mg/dL (with ketones present) before exercise Deactivate and remove the used Pod. Apply a new Pod in a different location and consult your healthcare provider. Deactivate and remove the used Pod. Apply a new Pod in a different location. Note: Avoid sites near a waistband, belt, or other areas where friction may dislodge the cannula. Deactivate and remove the used Pod. Apply a new Pod in a different location. Confirm that the correct Basal Program is active. Consult your healthcare provider about adjusting your Basal Programs or using a temp basal. Check carb intake. Take bolus with or before eating food rather than after. Check glucose before giving meal bolus. If necessary, adjust bolus. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance. Calculate protein/fat intake and account for it in your bolus timing and bolus type. Consult your healthcare provider about using the extended bolus option. Consult your healthcare provider about adjusting your Basal Programs or using a temp basal (Manual Mode). Do not exercise when ketones are present. Note: Glucose increases with exercise when ketones are present. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance. 221 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes Possible causes of hyperglycemia Suggested action Infection or illness or medication change Weight loss or gain or menstrual cycle or pregnancy Blockage (occlusion) See "Sick Days" on page 224. Consult your healthcare provider about sick day guidelines and about medication changes. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance. Deactivate and remove the used Pod. Apply a new Pod in a different location. To Treat Hyperglycemia (High Glucose) Warning: NEVER drive yourself to the emergency room if you need emergency medical care. Ask a friend or family member to take you to the emergency room or call an ambulance. Always check your glucose frequently while treating hyperglycemia. You dont want to over-treat the condition and cause your glucose to drop too low. 1. Check your glucose. The result will help you to find out how much insulin is needed to return your glucose to your glucose goal. 2. 3. If your glucose is 250 mg/dL or above, check for ketones. If ketones are present, follow your healthcare providers guidelines. If ketones are not present, take a correction bolus as prescribed by your healthcare provider. 4. Check your glucose again after 2 hours. 5. If glucose has not decreased, do both of the following:
Take a second bolus by injection, using a sterile syringe. Ask your healthcare provider whether to inject the same amount of insulin as in step 3. Replace the Pod. Use a new vial of insulin to fill the new Pod. Then contact your healthcare provider for guidance. Note: The Omnipod 5 System cannot track insulin that is administered outside of the system. Consult your healthcare provider about how long to wait after manually administering insulin before you start Automated Mode. 6. If you feel nauseated at any point, check for ketones and contact your healthcare provider immediately. 222 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) Warning: DO NOT wait to treat DKA. If left untreated, DKA can quickly lead to breathing difficulties, shock, coma, or death. Pods use rapid-acting insulin, which has a shorter duration than long-acting insulin, so you have no long-acting insulin in your body when using the Omnipod 5 System. If insulin delivery from the Pod is interrupted (a blockage or occlusion), your glucose can rise rapidly and lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA is a seriousbut preventableemergency that can occur if high glucose is not resolved, in times of illness, or when there is not enough insulin working in your body. Symptoms of DKA Nausea and vomiting Abdominal pain Dehydration Fruity-smelling breath Dry skin or tongue Drowsiness Rapid pulse Labored breathing The symptoms of DKA are much like those of the flu. Before assuming you have the flu, check your glucose and check for ketones to rule out DKA. To avoid DKA To treat DKA The easiest and most reliable way to avoid DKA is by checking your glucose at least 46 times a day. Routine checks allow you to identify and treat high glucose before DKA develops. Once you have begun treatment for high glucose, check for ketones. Check for ketones any time your glucose is 250 mg/dL or above. If ketones are negative or trace, continue treating for high glucose. If ketones are positive and you are feeling nauseated or ill, immediately contact your healthcare provider for guidance. If ketones are positive but you are not feeling nauseated or ill, replace the Pod using a new vial of insulin. 223 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes Check your glucose again after 2 hours. If your glucose has not declined or if your ketone levels have risen or remain elevated, immediately contact your healthcare provider for guidance. 15.5. Handling Special Situations Sick Days Any physical or emotional stress can cause your glucose to rise, and illness is physical stress. Your healthcare provider can help you make a plan for sick days. The following are only general guidelines. When you are ill, check your glucose more often to avoid DKA. The symptoms of DKA are much like those of the flu. Before assuming you have the flu, check your glucose to rule out DKA (see "To Treat Hyperglycemia (High Glucose)" on page 222). To handle sick days:
for energy. Treat the underlying illness to promote faster recovery. Eat as normally as you can. Your body still needs carbohydrates and insulin Adjust bolus doses, if necessary, to match changes in meals and snacks. Always continue your basal insulin, even if you are unable to eat. Contact your healthcare provider for suggested basal rate adjustments during sick days. Check your glucose every 2 hours and keep careful records of results. Check for ketones when your glucose is 250 mg/dL or higher, and/or when you are feeling ill, as ketones can also be present when glucose is in range during illness. Follow your healthcare providers guidelines for taking additional insulin on sick days. Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Contact your healthcare provider if symptoms persist. Exercising, Playing Sports, or Working Hard Check your glucose before, during, and after exercising, playing sports, or doing unusually hard physical labor. 224 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes The Pods adhesive keeps it securely in place for up to 3 days. However, if necessary, several products are available to enhance adhesion. Ask your healthcare provider about these products. Avoid getting body lotion, creams, or oils near the infusion site; these products may loosen the adhesive. For some contact sports, if the Pod is in a location where it is likely to be knocked off, consider removing the Pod and placing a new one in a more protected location. Make sure to check your glucose before removing the Pod and after applying a new one. Pods are designed for one-time use. Do not attempt to reapply a Pod that has been removed. If you will need to remove the Pod for more than one hour, ask your healthcare provider to recommend appropriate guidelines. X-rays, MRIs, and CT Scans Warning: Device components including the Pod, CGM transmitter, and CGM sensor may be affected by strong radiation or magnetic fields. Device components must be removed (and the Pod and CGM sensor should be disposed of) before X-ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), or Computed Tomography (CT) scan (or any similar test or procedure). In addition, the Controller and smartphone should be placed outside of the procedure room. Exposure to X-ray, MRI, or CT, treatment can damage these components. Check with your healthcare provider on Pod removal guidelines. The Pod and Controller can tolerate common electromagnetic and electrostatic fields, including airport security and cellular phones. Surgery or Hospitalization For scheduled surgeries or hospitalization, you should tell the physician/surgeon or hospital staff about your Pod. It may be necessary to remove it for certain procedures or treatments. Remember to replace the basal insulin that was missed while the Pod was removed. Your healthcare provider can help you prepare for these situations. 225 Living with Diabetes1515Living with Diabetes 226 This page intentionally left blank. SMARTBOLUS CALCULATOR SmartBolus Calculator Important Safety Information 16 Delivering a Bolus 17 Delivering a Bolus with the SmartBolus Calculator 18 SmartBolus Calculator Calculations 228 This page intentionally left blank. SmartBolus Calculator Important Safety Information SmartBolus Calculator Warnings Warning: AVOID changing your SmartBolus Calculator settings before consulting with your healthcare provider. Incorrect changes could result in over-delivery or under-
delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Settings that impact bolus calculations mainly include: Max Bolus, Minimum Glucose for Calculations, Correct Above, Correction Factor(s), Insulin to Carb (IC) ratio(s), Duration of Insulin Action, and Target Glucose. Warning: ALWAYS check your glucose frequently when you use the extended bolus function to avoid hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Warning: AVOID entering a blood glucose reading that is older than 10 minutes. If you use a reading older than 10 minutes, the bolus calculator could calculate and recommend an incorrect dose, which could result in over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin. This can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current CGM 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 defined Target Glucose, severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia may still occur. If your CGM values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check your blood glucose using a BG meter, consider treatment and/or CGM sensor calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are receiving inaccurate CGM values. Erroneously high CGM values can cause excessive insulin delivery, leading to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Erroneously low CGM values can cause prolonged insulin suspension leading to hyperglycemia, 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. Warning: Do NOT use Omnipod 5 System if you are taking hydroxyurea, a medication used in the treatment of diseases including cancer and sickle cell anemia. Your Dexcom G6 CGM readings could be falsely elevated and could result in over-delivery of insulin which can lead to severe hypoglycemia. 229 SmartBolus Calculator Precautions 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 the over-
delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Caution: DO NOT navigate away from the Omnipod 5 App while you are in the process of making changes to your insulin delivery settings. If you leave the App before you are able to save the setting change and before the App is able to put the setting change into effect, the system will continue to use your last saved settings. As a result, you may continue with therapy settings that you did not intend. If you are unsure about whether your changes were saved, review your settings. 230 Important Safety Information CHAPTER 16 Delivering a Bolus Contents 16.1. Delivering a Manual Bolus . 232 16.2.

Delivering a Manual Bolus In certain situations, you may decide to deliver a manual bolus. A manual bolus is a bolus that you have calculated without the help of the SmartBolus Calculator. You can use manual boluses when the SmartBolus Calculator is temporarily disabled or when you choose not to use the SmartBolus Calculator. Consult your healthcare provider for instructions about how to calculate a bolus. You can extend some or all of a manual bolus in Manual Mode. When delivering a manual bolus, the Omnipod 5 System does not adjust the bolus amount based on your glucose value, carbohydrates being consumed, or IOB as it does when the SmartBolus Calculator is used. Note: Any bolus delivered by you will be considered as IOB and may impact automated insulin delivery in Automated Mode. Current glucose values will continue to be considered in Automated Mode and may impact automated insulin delivery. A bolus cannot be greater than your Maximum Bolus setting. See "Note: The Extended Bolus feature can only be used in Manual Mode. All other therapy settings are used similarly in both Manual and Automated Modes." on page 250. To deliver a manual bolus:
1. On the Home screen, tap the Bolus button (
2. Tap the Total Bolus field and enter the bolus amount. 3. Tap Done. 4. To deliver the entire bolus immediately, tap CONFIRM.
). 5. Review the bolus details on the Confirm Bolus screen. 6. Tap START to begin the bolus. The bolus amount and bolus details are stored in your history records. The Home screen tracks the delivery of an immediate or extended bolus. 232 Delivering a Bolus1616Delivering a Bolus 16.2. Delivering Immediate and Extended Boluses A bolus is an extra dose of insulin that is delivered in addition to the continuous basal rate of insulin delivery. Use boluses to cover the carbohydrates in a meal and/
or bring down a high glucose. You have the option of delivering the entire bolus at once. This is referred to as an "immediate bolus" or, simply, a "bolus." In Manual Mode, you can also spread out the delivery of all or part of a meal bolus so that it is delivered steadily over a specified period of time. This is referred to as an "extended bolus."

These foods slow down digestion and therefore slow down the post-meal rise in your glucose. 233 Delivering a Bolus1616Delivering a Bolus 16.3. Tracking the Progress of a Bolus During a bolus, the Home screen displays a progress bar. Immediate bolus progress During an immediate bolus, the Home screen displays a Delivering Bolus message along with a progress bar and details. An estimate of the IOB is displayed in the lower left of the screen. If IOB is unavailable, then the amount of the last completed bolus is displayed in the lower left of the screen. Note: You cannot navigate within the Omnipod 5 App during an immediate bolus. Note: Look for the progress bar to confirm the bolus delivery has started before navigating away from the Omnipod 5 App. To cancel a bolus, see "16.4. Canceling a Bolus in Progress" on page 235. Extended bolus progress During an extended bolus, the Home screen's DASHBOARD tab displays a Delivering Extended Bolus message along with a progress bar and other details. An estimate of the IOB is displayed in the lower left of the screen. If IOB is unavailable, then the amount of the last completed bolus is displayed in the lower left of the screen. Note: You can still navigate within the Omnipod 5 App during an extended bolus but some functions will be unavailable until the bolus is complete. Unless you cancel the bolus, the Pod will finish delivering a bolus whether or not it is in range of the Controller or smartphone running your Omnipod 5 App. To cancel a bolus, see "16.4. Canceling a Bolus in Progress" in the next section. 234 Delivering a Bolus1616Delivering a Bolus 16.4. Canceling a Bolus in Progress When an immediate bolus is in progress, you must cancel it or allow it to finish before performing any other action. During an extended bolus, you can use your Omnipod 5 System normally, except that the Bolus button will be disabled (grayed out), preventing you from delivering an additional bolus. You have the options to:
Cancel the bolus. Cancel the bolus in progress and then deliver another bolus. If you get a communication error message when canceling a bolus, see "Error when canceling a bolus" on page 338. Cancel a bolus To cancel an immediate or extended bolus:

About the SmartBolus Calculator A bolus is a dose of insulin taken to cover carbohydrates in a meal, drink, or snack
(a meal bolus) or to correct elevated glucose (a correction bolus). The SmartBolus Calculator calculates a suggested bolus amount of insulin to bring down high glucose (a correction bolus) and/or to cover carbohydrates in a meal (a meal bolus).

If you use your CGM value, your CGM value and trend will be used to calculate a suggested bolus amount. The CGM value and trend will be used along with your Correction Factor to determine the correction portion of your bolus. The SmartBolus Calculator will use the CGM trend to adjust the correction bolus amount. When CGM Values are... Trending up (increasing) Trending down (decreasing) Steady Additional information The SmartBolus Calculator tries to keep glucose within target range and... Adds more insulin to the correction bolus. Subtracts insulin from the correction bolus. No adjustment to the correction bolus. You may choose to accept or change the final recommendation before the bolus is delivered. After opening the SmartBolus Calculator, bolus delivery must be initiated within 5 minutes or values will need to be refreshed. If more than 5 minutes pass, you will see a message that values have expired. Tap CONTINUE to refresh the SmartBolus Calculator, then enter or use your current values. To change your personal settings used by the SmartBolus Calculator, see
"SmartBolus Calculator Settings" on page 250. Note: To use the SmartBolus Calculator, the Omnipod 5 App and the Pod must be communicating. If there is no Omnipod 5 App to Pod communication, you will be prompted to re-establish a Pod connection. To find out what to do when your Omnipod 5 App and Pod have a communication issue, see "Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting" on page 325. Caution: DO NOT navigate away from the Omnipod 5 App while you are in the process of making changes to your insulin delivery settings. If you leave the App before you are able to save the setting change and before the App is able to put the setting change into effect, the system will continue to use your last saved settings. As a result, you may continue with therapy settings that you did not intend. If you are unsure about whether your changes were saved, review your settings. Tip: If you already know the number of units for the bolus you want to deliver, tap Total Bolus. Enter the bolus amount and tap Done. Then go to "17.6.

enter new values. 2. Tap the Carbs field. Enter the grams of carbs and tap Done. Note: Consult your healthcare provider about how to calculate the grams of carbs. 3. Review the suggested meal bolus, which is shown below the grams of carbs. 4. Optional: tap CALCULATIONS to see the details of the bolus calculations. 17.3. Entering a Blood Glucose Reading or Using a CGM Value The SmartBolus Calculator uses your glucose information to calculate a correction portion of your bolus. The following sections describe how to give the SmartBolus Calculator your glucose information by either manually entering a blood glucose reading or by obtaining and using the current CGM value. Note: The SmartBolus Calculator can generate a suggested bolus dose based on the carbohydrates in a meal and the blood glucose reading, or CGM value with trend. Entering a recent blood glucose reading or using a CGM value with trend can help with safety and accuracy. Manually Enter Your Blood Glucose Reading Warning: AVOID entering a blood glucose reading that is older than 10 minutes. If you use a reading older than 10 minutes, the bolus calculator could calculate and recommend an incorrect dose, which could result in over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin. This can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. 242 Delivering a Bolus with the SmartBolus Calculator1717Delivering a Bolus with the SmartBolus Calculator To enter a blood glucose reading:
1. Tap the Glucose field . If you have manually entered a blood glucose reading from a meter within the past 10 minutes, that value automatically appears in the Glucose field. If you want the SmartBolus Calculator to use that value, skip the next step. 2. Tap the box in the circle and enter the blood glucose reading. Alternatively, slide the indicator along the circle to enter the blood glucose reading. For the meaning of the colors displayed on the Enter Glucose screen, see
"How Blood Glucose Readings are Displayed" on page 117. Optional: To tag the blood glucose reading, tap ADD TAGS and tap a tag. Tap again to deselect a tag. You can add up to four tags. 3. Tap ADD TO CALCULATOR. The SmartBolus Calculator screen appears. 4. Review the suggested correction bolus, which is shown below the blood glucose reading. The correction bolus has been adjusted for any insulin on board (IOB) (see "SmartBolus Calculator Rules" on page 264). Import and Use CGM Value Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current CGM 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 defined Target Glucose, severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia may still occur. If your CGM values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check your blood glucose using a BG meter, consider treatment and/or CGM sensor calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are receiving inaccurate CGM values. Erroneously high CGM values can cause excessive insulin delivery, leading to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Erroneously low CGM values can cause prolonged insulin suspension leading to hyperglycemia, 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. If a CGM is connected, you can use the current CGM value and trend in both Manual and Automated Modes:
Tap USE CGM. 243 Delivering a Bolus with the SmartBolus Calculator1717Delivering a Bolus with the SmartBolus Calculator If the current CGM value is below the defined Minimum Glucose for Calculations setting, you will see a message that the SmartBolus Calculator is disabled. If the CGM value displays "HIGH", the SmartBolus Calculator is temporarily disabled. Note: If your Omnipod 5 System does not have a valid CGM value or trend at the time you open the SmartBolus Calculator, the USE CGM option is disabled. Tip: If you want to replace the CGM value with a blood glucose reading, tap the CGM field. See "Manually Enter Your Blood Glucose Reading" on page 242. 17.4. Insulin On Board (IOB) Insulin on board, also known as IOB or active insulin, is the amount of insulin that is still "active" in the body from a previous bolus or from automated insulin delivery. The SmartBolus Calculator considers the current IOB when calculating a suggested bolus. Insulin on board may come from:
Meal IOB - from previous meal boluses. Correction IOB - can be from previous correction boluses or from automated insulin deliveries. For more information, see "SmartBolus Calculator Rules" on page 264 and
"SmartBolus Calculator Equations" on page 263. In certain circumstances you may decide to enter only carbs or the bolus amount into the SmartBolus Calculator. This may be desired if you want to only bolus for carbs using your programmed insulin to carbohydrate ratio, or you want to deliver an amount of insulin based on your own estimate. If entering only carbs or a bolus amount without a glucose value, IOB is not subtracted from your suggested bolus dose as the calculator is not able to adjust the bolus dose if your glucose value is not known. If you want IOB to be considered, enter a glucose value. Here is an example to demonstrate when you may choose to enter only the carb or bolus amount into the SmartBolus Calculator. Example: You are about to have lunch and you are unsure of how much you will eat. To avoid taking too much insulin, you deliver a meal and correction bolus based on the carbs you know you will eat and your glucose value. After delivering the bolus and eating the first portion, you decide you want to finish the remaining portion. Since you already delivered a correction with the previous bolus, and you know glucose values are on the rise, you decide to deliver a second bolus for only the remaining carbs in your meal and not enter another glucose value. 244 Delivering a Bolus with the SmartBolus Calculator1717Delivering a Bolus with the SmartBolus Calculator 17.5. Adjustments to Your Calculation A suggested meal bolus that is calculated using your Insulin to Carb (IC) Ratio may be further adjusted for other values entered into and used by the SmartBolus Calculator, including: blood glucose readings, CGM value and trend, and/or IOB.

SmartBolus Calculator Examples . 266 253 18.1. The SmartBolus Calculator Your Omnipod 5 System's SmartBolus Calculator can do a lot of the work of calculating a bolus for you. The SmartBolus Calculator uses your personal settings and also takes into account any insulin that remains (referred to as insulin on board or IOB) from automated insulin delivery and from recent boluses. SmartBolus Calculator Boluses When calculating a bolus, the SmartBolus Calculator considers a bolus to be made up of the following two components:
Correction bolus: Used to lower glucose when it gets too high. Meal bolus: Used to cover carbs in a meal. Extended boluses When using the SmartBolus Calculator, you can extend some or all of a meal bolus in Manual Mode, but a correction bolus cannot be extended. A correction bolus is always delivered immediately. In the following example, three units of insulin are extended:
Total bolus = 5 units (1 unit correction bolus + 4 units meal bolus) Deliver now = 2 units (1 unit correction + 1 unit meal bolus) Extend
= 3 units (3 units meal bolus) Maximum Bolus The Omnipod 5 System does not allow you to enter a bolus that is above your Maximum Bolus setting. If the SmartBolus Calculator calculates a bolus amount greater than your Maximum Bolus, you will only be able to deliver up to the Maximum Bolus amount. To adjust it, tap the Total Bolus field and enter a revised bolus. Controlling the bolus amount The SmartBolus Calculator is a useful tool, but you have the ultimate control over the amount of a bolus to be delivered. After the SmartBolus Calculator suggests a bolus amount, you can confirm the suggested bolus or increase or decrease it. Always check the Calculations to confirm the amount of insulin before it is delivered. 254 Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations1818Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations When the SmartBolus Calculator Does Not Work The SmartBolus Calculator does not work when it is disabled or when there is no Pod communication. Being "disabled" means that the SmartBolus Calculator is temporarily unable to calculate a suggested bolus. Your Omnipod 5 System may disable the SmartBolus Calculator in a few situations. Conditions that disable the SmartBolus Calculator:
The SmartBolus Calculator is disabled until:
Your glucose is below your Minimum Glucose for Calculations setting. or Ten minutes pass. While the SmartBolus Calculator is disabled:
IOB is displayed on the Home screen. Your manually-entered blood glucose reading is greater than 600 mg/dl or HI. or There is an unconfirmed bolus when you discard a Pod. IOB is displayed on the Home screen. IOB is not displayed on the Home screen. A new glucose reading is above your Minimum Glucose for Calculations setting. Ten minutes pass. A new blood glucose reading is lower than HI. A complete Duration of Insulin Action period passes. For example, if your duration of insulin action is set at 2 hours, and you receive an unconfirmed bolus at 8 am you will be unable to use the SmartBolus calculator until 10 am (2 hours after the unconfirmed bolus). Factors Used in the SmartBolus Calculator Calculations The SmartBolus Calculator accounts for the following when it calculates a bolus:
Your current glucose (manually entered or from CGM), CGM trend (if CGM value is used), Target Glucose, Correct Above threshold, and Correction Factor. The carbs you are about to eat or drink and your IC Ratio. Your Duration of Insulin Action and insulin on board (IOB). Your Minimum Glucose for Calculations. 255 Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations1818Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations Reverse Correction, if it is enabled. Note: In both Automated and Manual Mode, if using a CGM values and trend in the Calculator, the SmartBolus Calculator may reduce the suggested insulin dose, even if your reverse correction setting is OFF. CGM trend Target Glucose The CGM trend is used to suggest up to 30% more correction insulin when your values are rapidly rising, or up to 100% when your values are rapidly falling, compared to the bolus amount suggested with just a blood glucose reading alone. When calculating a correction bolus, the SmartBolus Calculator aims to bring your glucose down to your Target Glucose. Correct Above threshold The SmartBolus Calculator only suggests a correction bolus if your glucose is above your Correct Above setting. This feature can prevent corrections to glucose that is only slightly higher than your Target Glucose. Insulin on board Insulin on board (IOB) is the amount of insulin still active in your body from basal insulin delivery and from earlier boluses. IOB from previous correction boluses is referred to as correction IOB. IOB from previous meal boluses is referred to as meal IOB. Additionally, in Manual or Automated Modes, the Omnipod 5 algorithm constantly calculates IOB from your basal delivery. When calculating a new bolus, the SmartBolus Calculator may reduce the suggested bolus based on the IOB. Note: The SmartBolus Calculator only subtracts IOB from a suggested bolus if your current glucose is known. You should always check your glucose prior to delivering a bolus. Duration of Insulin Action The SmartBolus Calculator uses your Duration of Insulin Action setting to calculate the insulin on board from prior boluses. The Duration of Insulin Action setting represents the amount of time that insulin remains "on board" or "active" in your body. Minimum Glucose for Calculations The SmartBolus Calculator does not suggest a bolus if your glucose is below your Minimum Glucose for Calculations level. You can adjust this level down to 50 mg/
dL. 256 Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations1818Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations Reverse Correction If the Reverse Correction setting is turned ON and your glucose is below your Target Glucose, the SmartBolus Calculator reduces the meal bolus. This allows part of the meal to be used to raise the glucose towards the Target Glucose. If the Reverse Correction setting is turned OFF, the SmartBolus Calculator suggests the full meal bolus even if your glucose is below your Target Glucose. Note: In Automated Mode, if using a CGM value and trend in the Calculator, the SmartBolus Calculator may subtract insulin even if your Reverse Correction setting is OFF in situations with a decreasing CGM trend. The below table shows how each value is used in the SmartBolus Calculator to calculate the total bolus volume:
How does the SmartBolus Calculator use this value?

(minus Reverse Correction , if enabled) SmartBolus Calculator disabled below Minimum Glucose for Calculations 259 Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations1818Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations Considerations about SmartBolus Calculator Recommendations Keep the following in mind when using the SmartBolus Calculator and reviewing its recommendations:
The SmartBolus Calculator uses your SmartBolus Calculator settings for the time you are requesting a bolus (See "SmartBolus Calculator Settings" on page 250). The SmartBolus Calculator refreshes values every 5 minutes. If you do not start your bolus within 5 minutes of entering the SmartBolus Calculator, the Omnipod 5 System will need to clear the screen so that it has the latest IOB and CGM information. When changing time zones, always check your IC Ratio and Correction Factor settings for the new time to ensure it still meets your body's true insulin needs. The SmartBolus Calculator will suggest doses depending on the carbs you enter and the glucose at that time. Check the nutritional content of your meals to ensure the carbs entered is as accurate as possible. Only enter BG readings that have been obtained with the last 10 minutes or use CGM. These factors will make sure that the SmartBolus Calculator suggests a bolus dose that is suitable for you. If your CGM value or trend does not match your symptoms or expectations, use a fingerstick blood glucose reading in the SmartBolus Calculator. When programming and delivering boluses, always confirm that the values you enter and the suggested bolus dose you receive are what you intend and align with what you want at that time. The Omnipod 5 System has features that help with preventing unintended delivery amounts. Delivery Limitations Maximum Bolus Setting Blood Glucose Reading Time Out Description The SmartBolus Calculator will not deliver boluses that exceed the Maximum Bolus Setting you entered
(0.05 -30 U). For example, if you rarely deliver more than 5 U boluses, and you set the Maximum Bolus Setting at 5 U, the system will prevent you from delivering anything greater than this amount. The SmartBolus Calculator will not calculate a suggested bolus dose using a blood glucose reading you entered from the Main Menu (
) that is older than 10 minutes. You will need to enter a more recent blood glucose reading within the SmartBolus Calculator. 260 Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations1818Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations SmartBolus Calculator Time Out Time Zones The SmartBolus Calculator considers the values you input for a given bolus calculation valid for up to 5 minutes from initial entry of the value into the SmartBolus Calculator. If 5 minutes or more have elapsed, you will be notified that you must refresh the SmartBolus Calculator and input the values again. The SmartBolus Calculator relies on accurate, updated insulin delivery history and data logging from your Omnipod 5 System. If a time zone change is detected by the Controller or smartphone, the system will notify you. Update time zones on your Omnipod 5 App according to your healthcare providers guidance. Insulin on Board (IOB) After a bolus is delivered, the amount of insulin that is active in the body decreases over several hours. The IOB from a bolus decreases based on your defined Duration of Insulin Action value within your profile settings. When using the SmartBolus Calculator, your Omnipod 5 System may, due to IOB, decrease your suggested bolus amount to help prevent giving too much insulin. Note: You must bring your Controller or smartphone running the Omnipod 5 App near the Pod to get the most recent IOB value on your Omnipod 5 App Home screen. Bolus IOB depletion The graph below shows the IOB from an 8 unit bolus depleting over the set Duration of Insulin Action of 4 hours. 1 hr after the bolus: IOB = 6 U 2 hrs after the bolus: IOB = 4 U 3 hrs after the bolus: IOB = 2 U

It can increase or decrease automatically. Insulin on board (IOB) calculations Duration of Insulin Action time since previous bolus x previous bolus Duration of Insulin Action IOB from a previous correction bolus is called a correction IOB. IOB from a previous meal bolus is called a meal IOB. Correction IOB example Duration of Insulin Action: 3 hours Time since previous correction bolus: 1 hour Previous correction bolus: 3 U 3 hours 1 hour x 3 U = 2 U correction IOB 3 hours Final IOB shown to you:
2U correction IOB + 1U automatic adjustment = 3U overall IOB In other words, one hour after your previous correction bolus, your body has used up 1 unit from the correction bolus. The remaining 2 units of insulin are still working in your body to lower glucose. Additionally, the system can automatically adjust the correction IOB based on its estimate of your insulin needs. In this example, the automatic adjustment added 1 unit for a total of 3 units working to lower your glucose. Correction Meal IOB example Duration of Insulin Action: 3 hours Time since previous meal bolus: 2 hours Previous meal bolus: 4.5 U 3 hours 2 hours x 4.5 U = 1.5 U meal IOB 3 hours In other words, two hours after your previous meal bolus, your body has used up 3 units from the meal bolus. The remaining 1.5 units of insulin are still in your body, working to cover your meal. 262 Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations1818Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations SmartBolus Calculator Equations The SmartBolus Calculator first calculates a preliminary correction and meal bolus. It adjusts these values for IOB, if necessary. It then suggests a final total bolus that includes the adjusted correction bolus and meal bolus. Note: Your adjustments from the CGM trend can add or subtract insulin from the correction and/or the meal portion. Preliminary correction bolus = Current BG or CGM - Target Glucose Correction Factor Example: Current BG or CGM: 200 mg/dL, Target Glucose: 150 mg/dL Correction Factor (CF): 50 200 mg/dL 150 mg/dL = 1 U prelim. correction bolus 50 Preliminary meal bolus = Carb intake Insulin-to-Carb (IC) ratio Example: Carb intake: 45 grams of carb, IC ratio: 15 45 = 3 U prelim. meal bolus 15 Correction bolus = (prelim. correction bolus - meal IOB) - correction IOB The meal IOB is subtracted first. If the preliminary correction bolus is still above zero, then the correction IOB is subtracted. Meal bolus = prelim. meal bolus - remaining correction IOB Meal IOB is never subtracted from a meal bolus. Only a remaining correction IOB is subtracted from a meal bolus. Calculated bolus = correction bolus + meal bolus Reverse Correction bolus calculation: If the Reverse Correction feature is turned ON and if your current glucose is below your Target Glucose but above your Minimum Glucose for Calculations, the SmartBolus Calculator subtracts a correction amount from the preliminary meal bolus. Meal bolus with Reverse Correction = Reverse Correction + prelim meal bolus Example: Current BG or CGM: 75 mg/dL, Target Glucose: 150 mg/dL Correction Factor: 50, Preliminary meal bolus: 2.5 U 75 mg/dL 150 mg/dL = -1.5 U Reverse Correction
- 1.5 U (Reverse Correction) + 2.5 U (prelim meal bolus) = 1.0 U meal bolus 50 A Reverse Correction is only applied to the meal bolus. In this example, the meal bolus is reduced by 1.5 units, resulting in a meal bolus of 1.0 U. 263 Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations1818Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations SmartBolus Calculator Rules The SmartBolus Calculator applies the following rules to the suggested bolus doses:

Meal Bolus 5 U Calculated Bolus 5 U Your Adjustment Meal bolus + 2U 2 U Total Bolus
= 7 U 266 The SmartBolus Calculator does not adjust your correction bolus by the meal IOB since there is no glucose information . The SmartBolus Calculator also does not adjust your correction bolus by the correction IOB since there is no glucose information . You are eating 50 g carbs . With your IC ratio at 10, you will need a 5 U meal bolus . Your meal bolus is not adjusted by your IOB when there is no blood glucose reading or CGM value . The calculated bolus is just the meal bolus since there is no correction bolus . You can make manual adjustments to your bolus by tapping on the Total Bolus field at the bottom of the SmartBolus Calculator screen . The Total Bolus is the sum of the calculated bolus and any adjustments you made . Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations1818Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations Example 2 Eating 30 g carbs, no meal or correction IOB. Used CGM value of 180 mg/dL, with a rising trend. Correction Bolus 1.2 U CGM = 180, Target Glucose = 130 Correction Factor = 50
(180-130) / 50 = 1 U Meal IOB adjustment Meal IOB = 0 U 1 U 0 U = 1 U Correction IOB adjustment Correction IOB = 0 U 1 U - 0 U = 1 U Adjusted correction bolus = 1 .2 U Adjusted for CGM: Rising Meal Bolus 3.6 U Carbs = 30 g, IC Ratio = 10 g/U 30 / 10 = 3 U Correction IOB adjustment Remaining correction IOB = 0 U 3 U 0 U = 3 U Adjusted meal bolus = 3 .6 U Adjusted for CGM: Rising Calculated Bolus Total Bolus 4.8 U 4.8 U Your glucose is 180 mg/dL which is 50 mg/
dL over your target . Because your correction factor is 50, the initial correction bolus is 1 U . The SmartBolus Calculator does not adjust your correction bolus by the meal IOB since there is no meal IOB . The SmartBolus Calculator also does not adjust your correction bolus by the correction IOB since there is no correction IOB . The correction bolus is increased to account for your rising CGM trend . You are eating 30 g carbs . With your IC ratio at 10, you will need a 3 U meal bolus . The SmartBolus Calculator does not adjust your meal bolus by the correction IOB since there is no correction IOB . The SmartBolus Calculator does not adjust your meal bolus by the correction IOB since there is no correction IOB . The meal bolus is increased to account for your rising CGM trend . The calculated bolus is the sum of your correction bolus and meal bolus that has been adjusted for rising CGM value . The total bolus is the sum of the calculated bolus and any adjustment you made . 267 Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations1818Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations Example 3 No carbs entered, used CGM of 180 mg/dL with decreasing trend. There is 0.8 U meal IOB and 0.5 U correction IOB from the previous meal and correction boluses. Correction Bolus 0 U CGM = 180, Target Glucose = 130 Correction Factor = 50
(180 -130) / 50 = 1 U Meal IOB adjustment Meal IOB = 0 .8 U 1 U - 0 .8 U = 0 .2 U Correction IOB adjustment Correction IOB = 0 .5 U 0 .2 U - 0 .5 U < = 0 U Meal Bolus 0 U Carbs = 0 g, IC Ratio = 10 g/U 0/10 = 0 U Correction IOB adjustment Remaining correction IOB = 0 .3 U 0 U - 0 .3 U < = 0 U Calculated Bolus 0 U Total Bolus 0 U 268 Your glucose is 180 mg/dL, which is 50 mg/dL over target . Because your correction factor is 50, the initial correction bolus is 1 U . Since you have 0 .8 U of meal IOB remaining from a previous meal bolus, this is subtracted from the initial correction bolus of 1 U, and you have 0 .2 U of correction bolus remaining . You also have 0 .5 U of correction IOB from previous insulin action . This is subtracted from the remaining correction bolus of 0 .2 U, driving the final calculated correction bolus to 0 U . Note that 0 .3 U of correction IOB still remains after driving correction bolus to 0 U, and this is used in the meal bolus calculations . You did not enter any carbs, so you do not receive any calculated meal bolus dose . Although there is a remaining correction IOB of 0 .3 U, your initial meal bolus is already at 0 U, so it is not adjusted further, and your meal bolus remains at 0 U . Even though your glucose is above target, you have enough IOB . As a result, the SmartBolus Calculator recommends that you do not deliver any additional insulin . 18Understanding SmartBolus Calculator Calculations USING A CGM WITH OMNIPOD 5 CGM Important Safety Information 19 About the Dexcom G6 20 Connecting Dexcom G6 CGM to the Pod 270 This page intentionally left blank. CGM Important Safety Information CGM Warnings Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current CGM 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 defined Target Glucose, severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia may still occur. If your CGM values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check your blood glucose using a BG meter, consider treatment and/or CGM sensor calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are receiving inaccurate CGM values. Erroneously high CGM values can cause excessive insulin delivery, leading to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Erroneously low CGM values can cause prolonged insulin suspension leading to hyperglycemia, 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. Warning: ALWAYS make sure you are using the CGM per manufacturer's instructions. Do not extend the sensor wear beyond the recommended duration and do not wear a sensor that is past the labeled expiration date. The Omnipod 5 System relies on accurate, current CGM values to determine your insulin needs. Incorrect use of the CGM could result in over-
delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Warning: ALWAYS confirm the Dexcom G6 Transmitter serial number you save in the Omnipod 5 App matches the one you are wearing. In cases where more than one person in the household uses the Dexcom G6 CGM, mis-matching transmitter serial numbers could result in over-
delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Warning: Device components including the Pod, CGM transmitter, and CGM sensor may be affected by strong radiation or magnetic fields. Device components must be removed
(and the Pod and CGM sensor should be disposed of) before X-ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), or Computed Tomography (CT) scan
(or any similar test or procedure). In addition, the Controller and smartphone should be placed outside 271 of the procedure room. Exposure to X-ray, MRI, or CT, treatment can damage these components. Check with your healthcare provider on Pod removal guidelines. Warning: DO NOT use Omnipod 5 System if you are taking hydroxyurea, a medication used in the treatment of diseases including cancer and sickle cell anemia. Your Dexcom G6 CGM values may be falsely elevated and result in over-delivery of insulin that can result in severe hypoglycemia.

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. The Omnipod 5 System is designed to connect with the Dexcom G6 CGM System. When connected to the Dexcom G6, the Pod receives glucose values and trends from the Dexcom G6. In Automated Mode, the Pod uses CGM values to make automated insulin dosing decisions every 5 minutes. In both Manual Mode and Automated Mode, a CGM value and trend can be used in the SmartBolus Calculator to calculate a suggested bolus. Read and follow all Dexcom G6 product instructions, including Safety Statements, in the Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide. Note: All sensor and transmitter-specific actions and alerts are controlled through your DexcomG6 app. See your Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide for additional information. Note: The DexcomG6 app and Omnipod 5 App do not directly communicate with each other. They have their own separate communication channels to acquire CGM values. As a result, you may notice that, at times, the CGM values may slightly differ in each app. When connecting and using a CGM transmitter, be aware of the following:
Always check the Dexcom G6 expiration dates for the sensor and transmitter. Only use a sensor and transmitter that are within their use-by date. Adhere to Dexcom's approved site placements for Dexcom G6 wear. All Dexcom G6 alerts are configured and driven by your Dexcom G6 app. Set your Low and High alerts, as well as any other alerts in your Dexcom G6 app before using the Omnipod 5 System. 274 19 About the DexcomG6 About the DexcomG6 19 Note: The Omnipod 5 System also alerts you when your CGM values are at or below 55 mg/dL. Always ensure the transmitter serial number entered in the Dexcom G6 and Omnipod 5 Apps match the transmitter on your body. 19.2. CGM Placement The Bluetooth connection between the CGM and the Pod is optimal when the signal does not pass through the body. Keeping both devices at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) apart and within line of sight allows for consistent CGM communication with the Pod. Note: Line of sight means that the Pod and CGM are worn on the same side of the body in a way that the two devices can "see" one another without your body blocking their communication.

CGM Values CGM values are displayed on the DASHBOARD. The DASHBOARD also displays a CGM trend arrow to indicate whether CGM values are trending up, down, or holding steady. In Automated Mode, the system takes your CGM trend into account every 5 minutes when making automated insulin delivery decisions. In Manual Mode and Automated Mode, the CGM value and trend can be used in the SmartBolus Calculator. The SmartBolus Calculator can increase or decrease your bolus as needed based on your CGM value and trend. High and Low CGM Values The Omnipod 5 App indicates high and low CGM values as follows. CGM Value Screen display Above 400 mg/dL Below 40 mg/dL HIGH LOW Note: CGM values are automatically recorded on the Omnipod 5 System and do not need to be entered on the Enter BG screen. Urgent Low Glucose Warning: ALWAYS promptly treat low glucose. Glucose at or below 55 mg/
dL indicates significant hypoglycemia (very low glucose). If left untreated, this could lead to seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Follow your healthcare provider's recommendations for treatment. When your CGM value is at or below 55 mg/dL, your Dexcom G6 will send the value to your Pod. The Pod will sound an Advisory alarm to let you know that your glucose is very low. You can acknowledge the alarm from your Controller or smartphone. See "13.7. Advisory Alarm List" on page 171 277 19 About the DexcomG6 About the DexcomG6 19 Note: This Alarm will occur again if another CGM value of 55 mg/dL or lower is received after the initial Advisory Alarm was acknowledged. Note: This Advisory Alarm will only stop repeating after a glucose value of 56 mg/
dL or greater is received. You may silence this Advisory Alarm for 30 minutes by acknowledging the on-screen message. Note: Use a BG meter to confirm your glucose. Treat low glucose as needed. Note: The Urgent Low Glucose Advisory Alarm has to do directly with your bodys current glucose, while other alarms have to do with the Pod or Omnipod 5 App state. 19.5. CGM Trend Arrows Trend arrows display per Dexcom specifications. The arrow color matches the CGM value color. For more information, refer to the Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide. The color of the CGM value and trend arrow can vary as follows:
CGM Value Color Description Purple CGM value is within Glucose Goal Range

Automated Mode Important Safety Information Automated Mode Important Safety Information Automated Mode Warnings Warning: SmartAdjust technology should NOT be used by anyone under the age of 6 years old. SmartAdjust technology should also NOT be used in people who require less than 6 units of insulin per day as the safety of the technology has not been evaluated in this population. Warning: DO NOT use SmartAdjust technology in pregnant women, critically ill patients, and those on dialysis. The safety of SmartAdjust technology has not been evaluated in these populations. Consult with your healthcare provider if any of these conditions apply to you before using SmartAdjust technology. Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current CGM 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 defined Target Glucose, severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia can still occur. If your CGM values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check your blood glucose using a BG meter, consider treatment and/or CGM sensor calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are receiving inaccurate CGM values. Erroneously high CGM values can cause excessive insulin delivery, leading to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Erroneously low CGM values can cause prolonged insulin suspension leading to hyperglycemia, 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. Warning: AVOID administering insulin, such as by injection or inhalation, while wearing an active Pod as this could result in hypoglycemia. The Omnipod 5 System cannot track insulin that is administered outside of the system. Consult your healthcare provider about how long to wait after manually administering insulin before you start Automated Mode. Warning: ALWAYS monitor for symptoms of hypoglycemia while the Activity feature is enabled. Hypoglycemia can still occur when using the Activity feature. Follow your healthcare providers advice on hypoglycemia avoidance and treatment. If untreated, hypoglycemia 287 can lead to seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Warning: Do NOT use Omnipod 5 System if you are taking hydroxyurea, a medication used in the treatment of diseases including cancer and sickle cell anemia. Your Dexcom G6 CGM readings could be falsely elevated and could result in over-delivery of insulin which can lead to severe hypoglycemia. 288 Important Safety Information CHAPTER 21 About Automated Mode Contents 21.1.

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 hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Automated Mode is the defining feature of the Omnipod 5 System. In Automated Mode, the system automatically adjusts your insulin delivery every 5 minutes, based on the current CGM value and trend, with the goal of bringing your glucose to your defined Target Glucose. Note: ALWAYS bolus for meals as directed by your healthcare provider. In Automated Mode, bolus doses for meals still require your programming and delivery. Failure to deliver a bolus for meals could lead to hyperglycemia. How insulin is calculated and delivered during Automated Mode The Omnipod 5 System uses your insulin delivery history to determine how much insulin your body needs. The calculated amount is known as the adaptive basal rate, which provides a baseline for automated delivery. 290 About Automated Mode2121About Automated Mode The System can automatically increase, decrease, or pause insulin delivery. The System can pause automated insulin delivery at any time to protect against hypoglycemia and will always pause when your glucose is below 60 mg/dL. The System can increase insulin delivery by delivering a series of microboluses to respond to elevated glucose. The maximum automated insulin delivery that can be given while in Automated Mode is based on your insulin history and your current insulin on board (IOB). This value is not related to your maximum basal rate setting. Your baseline adaptive basal rate is based on how much insulin you needed in the past. Over time, the Omnipod 5 System will learn your daily insulin needs and adapt, resulting in your adaptive basal rate changing to better match your true insulin needs at every Pod change. The Pod contains SmartAdjust technology, which adjusts your adaptive basal rate. You will stay in Automated Mode when 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 recent CGM value and trend. The automated insulin delivery amount given every 5 minutes while in Automated Mode can be seen in the Auto Events tab of the History Detail screen. See "Automated Events (Auto Events)" on page 146. The CGM graph on the Home screen shows when the Omnipod 5 System paused insulin delivery or has reached the maximum delivery. See "11.2. Viewing the CGM Graph" on page 134. Note: The Controller or smartphone running the Omnipod 5 App must be in Pod communication range to receive the most up-to-date information. 291 About Automated Mode2121About Automated Mode

Automated insulin delivery Automated insulin delivery changes as your CGM value and trend change. The table below describes how CGM trend affects your automated insulin delivery in Automated Mode:
Automated insulin delivery depends on your baseline adaptive basal rate. This rate is based on your past insulin usage and adapts with each Pod change. The System works to keep CGM values at your specified Target Glucose (110-150 mg/dL). Your automated insulin deliveries increase when you are predicted to be above your Target Glucose. Your automated insulin deliveries decrease or pause if you are predicted to be below your Target Glucose. The System always pauses insulin delivery when CGM values are under 60 mg/dL. The main information that informs Automated Mode insulin delivery is your past insulin history or average total daily insulin, together with your Target Glucose. If you are very insulin sensitive, the System knows to give you less insulin than if you have higher insulin needs. While you are using Automated Mode, the main adjustable setting affecting automated insulin delivery is Target Glucose. Target Glucose is customizable from 110-150 mg/dL (10 mg/dL increments), and you can create up to 8 different time segments per day. As you increase the Target Glucose setting value, SmartAdjust technology will deliver less automated insulin. Changing your Target Glucose throughout the day can be useful if:
There are times of the day when you are more or less sensitive to insulin (For example you and your healthcare provider identify a time in your day when you are more at risk of hypoglycemia which may require a higher Target Glucose). You would like to gradually bring your CGM values down to a lower Target Glucose (For example starting the system for the first time). 292 About Automated Mode2121About Automated Mode Consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes in your Target Glucose. See "Omnipod 5 Clinical Studies" on page 309 for clinical study information at each Target Glucose. SmartBolus Calculator settings can also be adjusted including Insulin-to-
Carbohydrate ratio, Correction Factor, Correct Above, Reverse Correction and Duration of Insulin Action. These all affect the bolus amounts you deliver during both Manual Mode and Automated Mode. Note: It is important to understand that changing your Basal Programs, Max Basal, Correction Factor, or Duration of Insulin Action setting will not impact automated insulin delivery during Automated Mode. 21.2. About the DexcomG6 in Automated Mode Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current CGM 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 defined Target Glucose, severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia may still occur. If your CGM values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check your blood glucose using a BG meter, consider treatment and/or CGM sensor calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are receiving inaccurate CGM values. Erroneously high CGM values can cause excessive insulin delivery, leading to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Erroneously low CGM values can cause prolonged insulin suspension leading to hyperglycemia, 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. While in Automated Mode, the Omnipod 5 System relies on your CGM values to calculate appropriate automated insulin delivery. CGM values and trends may also be used by the SmartBolus Calculator. It is important that your Dexcom G6 is functioning properly. To ensure CGM accuracy, be aware of your CGM values. If you are experiencing symptoms that do not align with your CGM values, use a separate BG meter. Refer to your Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide for details on inaccurate CGM values. 293 About Automated Mode2121About Automated Mode 21.3. Bolus Settings and 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 "Section 3: SmartBolus Calculator" on page 225. When delivering a bolus, it is recommended to:
Tap USE CGM to use your CGM value in the SmartBolus Calculator. This will ensure that your CGM 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 confirm 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 current needs as you wear the System. As you use the Omnipod 5 System and gather delivery history, SmartAdjust technology will automatically update your next Pod with your current insulin needs. During your first Pod wear (or if youve taken a long break between Pods), since no recent history is available, the Omnipod 5 System uses only your active Basal Program (from Manual Mode) as a starting point to adjust your insulin. After 48 hours of history is collected, which usually happens with the first Pod wear, SmartAdjust technology stops adjusting insulin against your active Basal Program and starts using the Adaptive Basal Rate for your automated insulin delivery with your next Pod change. With each Pod change, insulin delivery information is sent and saved in the Omnipod 5 App so that the next Pod that is started is updated with the new Adaptive Basal Rate. 294 About Automated Mode2121About Automated Mode 21.5. About Automated Mode: Limited Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current CGM 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 defined Target Glucose, severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia may still occur. If your CGM values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check your blood glucose using a BG meter, consider treatment and/or CGM sensor calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are receiving inaccurate CGM values. Erroneously high CGM values can cause excessive insulin delivery, leading to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, loss of consciousness or death. Erroneously low CGM values can cause prolonged insulin suspension leading to hyperglycemia, 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. At times, your Pod and CGM may lose communication while you are in Automated Mode. There are several reasons this could happen, including the Pod and CGM not being within line of sight on your body, temporary loss of communication due to environmental interference, sensor warm-up, or required calibration. When this occurs, SmartAdjust technology can no longer fully adjust your automated insulin delivery because the Pod is not receiving updated glucose information from the CGM. After 20 minutes of the Pod not receiving CGM values, the Omnipod 5 App displays Limited on the Home screen. The System also enters Limited state after receiving the Automated Delivery Restriction Advisory alarm. For more information , see "
Restriction" on page 306. Automated Delivery When the System enters Limited state, SmartAdjust technology never gives more than the Basal Program that would be active during Manual Mode. After an hour of missed CGM values, the Missing CGM Values advisory alarm is presented and you receive a steady rate of insulin that will not vary until CGM connection is restored. You may also choose to switch to Manual Mode to start your Basal Program. See
"22.2. Switching from Automated Mode to Manual Mode" on page 300. Check your Dexcom G6 app to see if there are any CGM actions you need to take to re-establish communication. See your Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide. 295 About Automated Mode2121About Automated Mode Note: Automated Mode: Limited state can occur due to a loss of communication between the CGM and Pod. It is possible that your DexcomG6 app is still receiving CGM values. Open your DexcomG6 app to check. 296 21About Automated Mode CHAPTER 22 Switching Between Manual Mode and Automated Mode Contents 22.1.

Canceling the Activity Feature . 303 301 23.1. About the Activity Feature Warning: ALWAYS monitor for symptoms of hypoglycemia while the Activity feature is enabled. Hypoglycemia can still occur when using the Activity feature. Follow your healthcare providers advice on hypoglycemia avoidance and treatment. If untreated, hypoglycemia can lead to seizure, loss of consciousness or death. While in Automated Mode, you cannot start a temp basal or manually pause insulin delivery. The Omnipod 5 System provides an option for modified automated insulin delivery through the Activity feature. The Activity feature can be useful in times when you need less insulin, for example, when you are exercising. While Activity is enabled, the Omnipod 5 System does the following:
Reduces automated insulin delivery Sets your Target Glucose to 150 mg/dL, regardless of your target settings With Activity enabled, you can still deliver a bolus as you normally would. Activity can be set for a duration of 1-24 hours, in increments of 1 hour. You can cancel Activity at any time. Upon cancellation or expiration of the defined time period, full automated insulin delivery starts on its own and SmartAdjust technology returns to using the Target Glucose defined in your settings. The Activity feature ends if the Pod is deactivated. You need to re-enter Automated Mode and then enable Activity with your new Pod. Talk to your healthcare provider about the timing of starting the Activity feature to address your anticipated period of decreased insulin needs. Note: In the event of a loss of Pod and CGM communication and the Omnipod 5 System enters Limited state, Activity remains enabled. Note: You may see an increase in your displayed IOB when the Activity feature starts and a decrease in your IOB when the Activity feature time period ends because of the way insulin is calculated. 302 Activity Feature2323Activity Feature 23.2.

For more information about Automated Mode: Limited state, see "21.5. About Automated Mode: Limited" on page 295. Check your Dexcom G6 app to see if there are CGM values present or if the cause of the loss of communication is related to the sensor/transmitter. Examples to look for within the Dexcom G6 app include sensor error/
expiration, transmitter error/expiration, sensor warm-up, or signal loss alert. If the Dexcom G6 app is receiving CGM values, there may be a temporary communication issue between your Pod and the Dexcom G6. You may decide to switch to Manual Mode or wait for a CGM value to be received while in Automated Mode: Limited state. If this is frequently occurring, check to see if the Pod and CGM are located on your body at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) apart and within line of sight. If not, when you remove one, position the new one so that your Pod and CGM are within line of sight to one another. Note: For information about your DexcomG6 app, refer to your Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide. 308 24Automated Mode Alarms CHAPTER 25 Omnipod 5 Clinical Studies The goal of the pivotal study of the Omnipod 5 System was to assess the safety and efficacy of the system. This single-arm, multicenter, prospective study enrolled 112 children (6 to 13.9 years) and 128 adolescents and adults (14 to 70 years). A 2-week standard therapy phase (usual insulin regimen) was followed by 3 months of the Omnipod 5 System use in Automated Mode. The primary analysis consisted of A1C and sensor glucose time in range (70-180 mg/dL) results. The primary safety endpoints included an assessment of severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) events. An analysis of the secondary endpoints and additional metrics was also performed. An analysis of the primary, secondary, and safety results are presented in the tables below. Of the 240 subjects enrolled, 98% completed the trial (111 children and 124 adolescents and adults). The study population consisted of people with type 1 diabetes for at least 6 months. All subjects were required to have a A1C < 10.0% at screening. Subjects < 18 years had to be living with a parent or legal guardian. No subjects with the following conditions were enrolled:
History of severe hypoglycemia or DKA in the past 6 months Sickle cell disease, adrenal insufficiency , eating disorder, abnormal kidney function (eGFR < 45), hemophilia or any other bleeding disorders, untreated thyroid disease History of cardiovascular disease including coronary artery disease, heart attack, and cardiac intervention procedure or coronary bypass surgery in past year Abnormal ECG in subjects > 50 years or diagnosed with diabetes >20 years Plans to receive blood transfusion during study Taking oral or injectable steroids or diabetes medications other than metformin and insulin Pregnant or lactating women The safety and effectiveness of the Omnipod 5 System in users with the conditions above is unknown. Please note that the study exclusion list above is condensed and does not include every exclusion criterion. The trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov, a national database of clinical trials in the United States, with ID number NCT04196140. Full details of the study criteria can be found there. 309 Demographics Baseline characteristics including demographics of the subjects at the start of the 3-month Omnipod 5 treatment phase are provided in the table below.

The primary results of the study included change in average A1C% and % time in range (70-180mg/dL). Adolescents, adults, and children experienced improvements in overall A1C and time in range after 3 months of Omnipod 5 System use. This was achieved with a reduction of time
>180 mg/dL in adolescents, adults, and children as well as a reduction in median time <70 mg/dL in adolescents and adults. Some limitations to the study include: 1) single-arm design with no control group which could lead to an over-estimate of glycemic improvement; 2) standard therapy phase was shorter than the Omnipod 5 System phase; 3) minimal use of the 140 and 150 mg/dL Target Glucose settings in adults and adolescents limited the assessment of glycemic results at those settings and, for that reason, results at these Target settings were not included in this user guide. 311 Overview of Omnipod 5 System Pivotal Clinical Study2525Overview of Omnipod 5 System Pivotal Clinical Study Glycemic Results Overall (24 hours) Children (6 to 13.9 years)

During Phase 1, participants used the Omnipod 5 system in Manual Mode for the first 7 days without a connected CGM (standard SmartBolus Calculator). In Phase 2, participants used the Omnipod 5 system in Manual Mode with a connected CGM (CGM-informed SmartBolus Calculator) for 7 days. Boluses were calculated using stored pump settings plus user-estimated meal size and/
or either a manually entered glucose value (standard SmartBolus Calculator) or an imported current CGM value and trend (CGM-informed SmartBolus Calculator). Both versions of the SmartBolus Calculator considered insulin on board (IOB) in the bolus calculations. The CGM-informed calculator automatically increased or decreased the suggested bolus amount based on the CGM trend. The primary analysis of the study was to compare the percent of time spent < 70 mg/dL and > 180 mg/dL for the 4 hours after any bolus as measured by CGM between the two study phases. The results indicate that the use of the CGM-informed SmartBolus Calculator was associated with less time in hypoglycemia within 4 hours of bolusing.

Omnipod 5 Pump FAQs The following topics have been frequently asked during the use of Omnipod 5, and the main causes and recommended actions are listed below. Issue Possible Cause What you can do Pod Issues During Pod activation, did not hear the 2 beep confirmation after filling the Pod with insulin The adhesive around the Pod keeps lifting from the skin Pod alarm sounding 326 Pod not filled with at least 85 units of insulin. It is important that the Pod stays on the body to ensure that the cannula stays under the skin to deliver insulin. If the area where you apply the Pod is not cleaned and dry, the adhesive may not stick well. Because the delivery of insulin is so critical to your health, it is important to know if the Pod stops working. The Pod may stop working for many reasons, for example, a blockage (occlusion) is detected, electrostatic discharge affects the circuit, or some interference is detected. Make sure the Pod is filled with at least 85 units of insulin. If you have filled the Pod with at least 85 units and you still do not hear 2 beeps, you will need to discard the Pod and start a new one. Make sure that the skin is cleaned and dry before applying the Pod. Avoid the use of moisturizers, oils, conditioners, sunscreen, or insect repellent around the site. If there is a lot of body hair, you may need to clip or shave the area 24 hours prior to Pod change. Be sure to remove old adhesive residue from the skin. Insulet has produced a special tape called PodPals that can help keep the Pod on for longer. This continuous loud noise is intended to alert you to remove the Pod and replace it with a new one. You can try to deactivate the Pod with your Omnipod 5 App. Occasionally, the App will not be able to communicate with the Pod and you will have to discard the Pod. In this case, you will need to remove the Pod and disable the alarm switch. See page 197 for guidance. Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Finding Out How Much Insulin Was Delivered Issue What you can do Where to see how much insulin is delivered while in Automated Mode The CGM graph will show you the latest CGM value received by the Pod and what mode of insulin delivery the system is in. (To see the graph, tap VIEW from the lower right part of the Home screen.) The graph will also show when your last boluses were delivered. You can see on the legend for the graph that insulin suspension is shown as the red bar, and maximum delivery during Automated Mode is shown as the orange bar. To know the exact amount of insulin delivered in Automated Mode, go to:
Menu button (
) > History Detail > AUTO EVENTS This will show you the time, CGM value, and corresponding amount of insulin delivered at each 5-minute interval. The Omnipod 5 App maintains the history for previous insulin deliveries. You can check here: Menu button (
) > History Detail > Summary. Scroll down and look for previous insulin deliveries. If you tap the entry, you will see how the calculations for the bolus were made if the SmartBolus Calculator was used. Where to find history of insulin deliveries 327 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Controller Issues Issue Possible Cause What you can do Device error Controller unable to power on or screen is unreadable Try restarting the Controller by holding down the Power button for 10 seconds. The Controller should restart and regain communication successfully. If the issue does not resolve, call Insulet Customer Care at 1-800-591-3455. It is important to keep your settings recorded or written down in a safe place so that you can start a replacement system without delay. Insulet does not keep your insulin delivery settings. You can change the screen setting so that the screen stays on for longer. On your Controller, go to: Menu button
) > Settings > PDM Device >
Screen Time-Out . This can be set to 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes. Charge (or continue to charge) the Controller for 30 minutes. The Controller should display a state of charge and be able to power on. If the issue does not resolve, call Insulet Customer Care at 1-800-591-3455. Screen turns black

or not displaying a state of charge while charging Battery is discharged (dead) due to either prolonged storage or typical use
(draining capacity to ~0%) without charging for an extended period. Omnipod5 App Issues Warning: DO NOT apply a new Pod until you have deactivated and removed the old Pod. A Pod that is not deactivated properly can continue to deliver insulin as programmed, putting you at risk of over-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia. 328 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Caution: DO NOT reset the Omnipod 5 App or clear the app data before checking with your healthcare provider. This will erase all of your settings, Adaptive Basal Rate, and history, and require you to change your active Pod. Before resetting or clearing app data, make sure you have a current record of your settings and a new Pod with supplies to use when restarting the app. Caution: DO NOT delete the Omnipod 5 App while you have an active Pod, and DO NOT clear the Omnipod 5 App data. If you do, your Pod will remain active, but you will not be able to control your Pod even if you re-install or re-
open the App. You must remove the Pod in order to stop receiving insulin. Issue Possible Cause What you can do Omnipod5 App does not work on the smartphone Using a smartphone that is not compatible.

Note: It may take the CGM and Pod up to 20 minutes to connect. 331 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting 26.2. SmartBolus Calculator FAQs Issue Possible Cause What you can do With carbs entered and CGM value available, the SmartBolus Calculator recommends no bolus or 0 insulin. You have already received a lot of insulin (your IOB is high), and your CGM trend is falling. You can remove the CGM value so that the calculator only suggests a bolus amount for the carbs entered. Alternatively, you can decide on a different amount and enter this directly into the Total Bolus field at the bottom of the screen. Check your Calculations screen before you deliver a bolus to see how the calculator determines the suggested bolus. Always confirm the bolus amount before you deliver it to make sure the system delivers what you want. Issue What you can do Im having a second serving of an item at a meal. How should I handle delivering a bolus?
I typically deliver the bolus following the meal as it is difficult to predict how many carbs my child will eat. What is the best way to use the SmartBolus Calculator in this case?
After meals, it is common for glucose to rise. If you have already bolused for carbohydrates and entered a CGM value or blood glucose reading at the start of a meal, you can just enter carbohydrates for the second serving. The SmartBolus Calculator will suggest a bolus amount for the carbohydrates only. It is difficult, especially for young children, to predict how much will be eaten at each meal. In this case,you may choose to use the SmartBolus Calculator to deliver the correction bolus by tapping USE CGM or entering the blood glucose reading to deliver some insulin prior to the meal. After you are comfortable, you can separately enter the carbohydrates into the SmartBolus Calculator to deliver the full meal bolus. 332 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting 26.3. CGM FAQs Activated a Pod and cannot see CGM values in the Omnipod5 App Issue Possible Cause What you can do Problem with the CGM. Check your Dexcom G6 app and if you do not see CGM values, then follow instructions there. CGM transmitter serial number is not entered into the Omnipod 5 App. You are using the DexcomG6 receiver. 1. Go to: Menu button (
Settings > CGM Transmitter . 2. Make sure the serial number is entered and entered correctly. If you have just connected, it can take up to 20 minutes for values to appear in the Omnipod 5 App. 1. Use the Dexcom G6 app on your smartphone. The Omnipod 5 System is not compatible with the Dexcom G6 receiver. 2. Then, turn off the Dexcom G6 receiver. 333 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Issue Possible Cause What you can do CGM values no longer show up in the Omnipod5 App. Instead, there are dashed lines. The DexcomG6 app does not show a problem. The most likely reason for this to happen is an interruption in communication between the CGM and the Pod. To minimize the risk of interruption, make sure your CGM and Pod are worn on the same side of the body. Wireless communications do not travel well through the body. For example, if your CGM is worn on the abdomen and the Pod is on the back of the arm, the signal may be interrupted. Try to keep the Pod and CGM on the same side of the body to maximize your time in Automated Mode. You can also try deleting the CGM transmitter serial number and re-
entering it. Go to: Menu button (
Settings > CGM Transmitter . This resets the communication between the CGM and the Pod. The difference should be minor. To bring the value up to date, bring the Controller or smartphone close to the Pod. CGM values on the DexcomG6 app look different from those on the Omnipod5 App. The Dexcom G6 app receives CGM values directly from the sensor. The Omnipod 5 App receives CGM values from the Pod. Occasionally, there is a slight delay before the value is updated on the Omnipod 5 App. 334 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Issue Possible Cause What you can do High Glucose Issues After using the system for a couple of weeks, CGM values are running high after breakfast. The Insulin-to-Carb ratio is the same. One of the benefits of automated insulin delivery is the greater ability to stay closer to your Target Glucose overnight. What this often means is that prior to breakfast, there is less insulin in your body compared to Manual Mode. It is common to need changes to your Insulin-to-Carb ratio, generally a lowering of the ratio to receive more insulin before meals (for example, lowering the carbohydrate value covered by 1U of insulin). Another setting that you can change is Reverse Correction. When the toggle for this is ON (blue), it means the calculator will recommend less insulin when your CGM value or blood glucose reading is below your Target Glucose. Discuss with your healthcare provider what settings are best for you. Your SmartBolus Calculator settings are available under: Menu button (
Settings > Bolus . 335 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Issue Possible Cause What you can do After using the system in Automated Mode for a few weeks, CGM values have been running high. Your Target Glucose may need to be adjusted. In Automated Mode, Target Glucose is the main setting that you can control to adjust automated insulin delivery. Other SmartBolus Calculator settings may need to be adjusted. Check your Target Glucose here:
Menu button (
> Bolus
) > Settings The Target Glucose can be set between 110-150 mg/dL. If youre running high, you can try reducing the Target Glucose around the period that youre running higher than desired. Think about your SmartBolus Calculator settings: In particular, your Insulin-to-Carb ratio, Correction Factor and, Target Glucose might need to be adjusted. For example, if these high periods are after lunch, you might need more insulin around lunchtime to reduce the likelihood of running high in the afternoon. Changing your Basal Programs or Max Basal setting will not make a difference for the Automated Mode function. This only works for Manual Mode. Discuss with your healthcare provider what settings are best for you. 336 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Issue Possible Cause What you can do CGM values have been running high over several days. Although the system is able to automate insulin delivery, your bodys insulin needs can change daily. This means that every day with diabetes is different. Think about diet, exercise, Pod insertion site, and change in your bodys needs and how they are affecting your glucose. The system will adapt with every new Pod to give you just the right amount of insulin to get you to the Target Glucose. As the system detects higher insulin needs, it will adapt to adjust insulin dosing accordingly. Low Glucose Issues Issue Possible Cause What you can do CGM values are running low in the late evening; needing hypoglycemia treatment before going to bed. Your Target Glucose may need to be adjusted for the period to avoid the low. Check your Target Glucose here:

337 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Following afternoon exercise, CGM values are going low. During exercise, your body is often prone to low glucose. To reduce the risk of this low, you can use the Activity feature. With this feature, the system delivers less insulin and also drives insulin delivery to a target of 150 mg/
dL. It is recommended that you turn this setting ON at least 30-60 minutes before exercise. Exercise with diabetes requires trial and error. Keep a record of activity, carbohydrates consumed, and insulin delivery to work out the best method for you. Your healthcare provider can help provide different ways to confidently manage your diabetes with exercise. 26.4. Automated Mode FAQs Issue Possible Cause What you can do Activated a Pod and unable to switch to Automated Mode Your CGM transmitter serial number is not entered into the Omnipod 5 App.
Go to: Menu button (
Settings > CGM Transmitter . Tip: Always check that the serial number entered into the App is the same as the number on the transmitter you are wearing. 338 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Screen shows Automated Mode: Limited Interruption in communication between the CGM and the Pod. To minimize the risk of interruption, make sure your Pod and CGM are worn on the same side of the body. Wireless communications do not travel well through the body. For example, if your sensor is worn on the abdomen and the Pod is on the back of the arm, the signal may be interrupted. Check your Dexcom G6 app and if you don't see CGM values, then follow instructions there. Follow the instructions on the screen to check your glucose. After 5 minutes in Manual Mode and you are confident that your Pod and CGM are working well, you can switch back to Automated Mode. See page 298. Problem with the CGM Automated Mode may have reached the limits of insulin delivery, either the maximum or the minimum. 26.5. Pod Communication Issues "Try Again"
Warning: DO NOT apply a new Pod until you have deactivated and removed the old Pod. A Pod that is not deactivated properly can continue to deliver insulin as programmed, putting you at risk of over-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia. 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 backup insulin delivery methods, like insulin injections. Make sure to check your glucose frequently. If a Pod communication issue occurs, you will see a "No Pod communication"
message on the POD INFO tab. Follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue. Your Controller will also beep every 10 seconds when there is an unacknowledged communication issue due to an instruction being unable to be sent to the Pod. Tip: When there is a communication issue, the Omnipod 5 App offers you options to help you resolve it. It is in your best interest to leave any options to DISCARD or DEACTIVATE POD as the last choice after trying the other option(s). 339 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting2626Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Error when sending insulin instructions to the Pod A communication error may occur when the Omnipod 5 App attempts to send insulin delivery instructions to the Pod. If a communication error occurs when the Omnipod 5 App attempts to send an insulin delivery instruction, the Omnipod 5 App offers you different options. If the Omnipod 5 App has sent the Pod the instruction and hasn't received confirmation that it was carried out, the Omnipod 5 App offers these options:
CHECK STATUS: Move to a new location, then select this option to recheck for confirmation that the instruction was carried out. DEACTIVATE POD: This should not be your first choice. When you select this option, you can follow the instructions for replacing your Pod. If the Omnipod 5 App has not sent the Pod the instruction, the Omnipod 5 App tells you to move to a new location, and tap TRY AGAIN to reattempt communication. After you tap TRY AGAIN if the next communication attempt fails, the Omnipod 5 App offers these options:
CANCEL: Select this option to cancel sending the instruction. In this case, the Pod continues with its prior insulin delivery mode. You can try to send the instruction later. TRY AGAIN: Move to a new location, then select this option to tell the Omnipod 5 App to reattempt to send the instruction to the Pod. DEACTIVATE POD: This should not be your first choice. When you select this option, you can follow the instructions for replacing your Pod. Error when canceling a bolus If you are trying to cancel a bolus when a communication error occurs, the following options become available:
CANCEL: Select this option to stop attempting to cancel the bolus. The Pod continues to deliver the bolus. Note: If the 'cancel bolus' instruction has already been sent, this CANCEL option is not available. TRY AGAIN: Move to a new location, then select this option to tell the Omnipod 5 App to continue attempting to communicate with the Pod. DEACTIVATE POD: This should not be your first choice. When you select this option, you can follow the instructions for replacing your Pod. If the 'cancel bolus' instruction has already been sent from the Omnipod 5 App when a communication error occurs, the Omnipod 5 App offers these options:

DISCARD POD: This should not be your first choice. Select this option to stop attempting to use this Pod. TRY AGAIN: Select this option to attempt to re-establish communication. Error when deactivating a Pod If a communication error occurs during Pod deactivation, the following options become available:
DISCARD POD: Select this option if the TRY AGAIN option has not resolved the problem. This will tell your Omnipod 5 System to unpair from that Pod. The Omnipod 5 App instructs you to remove your Pod and tap CONTINUE. TRY AGAIN: Select this option to attempt to re-establish communication. Note: After selecting the discard option, you can prevent future alarms from the discarded Pod by following the instructions in "13.9. Silencing Unresolved Alarms" on page 197. Note: If there is an unconfirmed bolus when you discard a Pod, the Omnipod 5 System does not know how much of the bolus was delivered. Therefore, the Omnipod 5 System temporarily disables the SmartBolus Calculator for a period equal to your Duration of Insulin Action setting. If you tap the Bolus button while the SmartBolus Calculator is disabled, the Omnipod 5 App displays a message that says "SmartBolus Calculator temporarily disabled." You can deliver a manual bolus when the SmartBolus Calculator is disabled. 26.6. About Keeping Your Omnipod 5 Controller and/or Smartphone Nearby You will use your Controller or smartphone to activate a new Pod every 23 days. After you activate a Pod, you will start receiving insulin based on your active Basal Program in Manual Mode, whether or not your Controller or smartphone is nearby. You will need to access the App, however, to resolve any alerts or alarms that may originate from your Pod, to deliver a bolus, or check the status of your System and glucose. After you enter the CGM transmitter serial number into the Omnipod 5 App and use the Dexcom G6 app on your smartphone to activate your sensor, you can switch from Manual Mode to Automated Mode.

Pod will directly receive CGM values wirelessly and automate insulin delivery depending on your needs. The system is designed to continue delivering insulin in the absence of your Controller or smartphone, so you will not be alerted that the Pod and display device are out of range of one another if you choose to leave your Controller and/
or smartphone behind. Although your Omnipod 5 System does not require the Controller to be nearby to continue your insulin delivery in Manual Mode or Automated Mode, the Controller and/or smartphone provide(s) you with important information about recent insulin delivery, alerts, and alarms that come from your Pod, and allows you to deliver a bolus. Caution: AVOID leaving your Controller or smartphone in a place that would prevent you from hearing alarms and notifications from your Omnipod 5 App. Delivery of insulin in Manual Mode or Automated Mode continues as programmed if you move away from your Controller or smartphone. 26.7. Deleting the Omnipod 5 App If you delete the Omnipod 5 App from your smartphone, all your settings and insulin history will be removed. If you choose to download the Omnipod 5 App later, you will have to go through the setup process again, entering all your insulin therapy settings.

Dexcom Specifications For information about Dexcom operating specifications, see the Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide. 348 Appendix Protection from Over-Infusion or Under-Infusion The Pod software monitors the infusion rate. If an error that would result in over-
infusion or under-infusion is detected and cannot be corrected, insulin delivery stops, and an alarm sounds. Blockage (occlusion) detection Warning: ALWAYS monitor your glucose and follow your healthcare provider's treatment guidelines when you stop receiving insulin due to a blockage (occlusion). Not taking action promptly could result in under-
delivery of insulin which can lead to hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis
(DKA) (see"
Blockage Detected" on page 163). Caution: ALWAYS check your glucose frequently when you use very low basal rates. Checking your glucose frequently can alert you to the presence of a blockage (occlusion). Blockages can result in hyperglycemia. A blockage (occlusion) is an interruption in insulin delivery from the Pod. If the Omnipod 5 System detects a blockage, it sounds a hazard alarm and prompts you to deactivate and change your Pod. A blockage hazard alarm sounds when an average of 3 units to 5 units of missed insulin occurs. The following table depicts blockage detection for three different situations when using U-100 insulin. For example, if the Pod's cannula becomes blocked when delivering a 5 U bolus, 35 minutes may pass before the Pod sounds a hazard alarm. Time between blockage and Pod alarm Typical time 33 minutes 3.0 hr 51 hr Maximum time 35 minutes 5.5hr 80 hr (Pod expiration) 5.00 U bolus 1.00 U/hr basal 0.05 U/hr basal If a blockage spontaneously clears up, a volume of insulin could be released. That volume would not exceed the volume of the programmed insulin intended for delivery. If your Omnipod 5 System detects a potential blockage to your insulin delivery, it will set a blockage alarm to sound. If a blockage alarm is set to alarm while an immediate bolus is in progress, the alarm is delayed until completion of the bolus. 349 Appendix Performance Characteristics The Omnipod 5 insulin pump delivers insulin in two ways: basal insulin delivery
(continuous) and bolus insulin delivery. The following accuracy data was collected on both types of delivery in laboratory studies performed by Insulet. Delivery performance characterization Basal Delivery: In order to assess basal delivery accuracy, 12 Pods were tested by delivering at low, medium, and high basal rates (0.05, 1.00, and 30.0 U/hr). Water was used as a substitute for insulin. The water was pumped into a container on a scale, and the weight of the liquid at various time points was used to assess pumping accuracy. The following tables report the typical basal performance (median) observed, along with the lowest and highest results observed for the low, medium, and high basal rate settings for all pumps tested with no warm-up period. For each time period, the tables show the volume of insulin requested in the first row and the volume that was delivered as measured by the scale in the second row.

Unauthorized tampering with the System can revoke your right to operate it. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interference to radio and television reception, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
Move or relocate the Omnipod 5 System. Increase the separation between the Omnipod 5 System and the other device that is emitting or receiving interference. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 355 Appendix Quality of Service The Omnipod 5 System includes two wireless transmission pathways. Insulet defines the quality of service of the Omnipod 5 System for each of the two pathways:
Omnipod 5 App to Pod wireless communication definition Successful transfer of commands, data, and alarms between the Controller or smartphone running the Omnipod 5 App and Pod when in communication range (within 5 ft during normal operation). The Omnipod 5 App informs the user when transfer of commands, data, and alarms is unsuccessful. For Insulin Delivery commands, the system performance requirements state that communication between the Pod and the Controller or smartphone running the Omnipod 5 App occurs within 8 seconds at a reliability rate of 95%. The Omnipod 5 App will inform the user when there are communication errors between the Pod and the Controller or smartphone. When such an error occurs, the Omnipod 5 App will beep once every 10 seconds and the communication failure will continue to be indicated within the Omnipod 5 App until the communication error is resolved. Pod to CGM wireless communication definition The percentage of CGM values successfully received by the Pod when the CGM transmitter and Pod attempt to communicate every 5 minutes. The System performance requirements state that at least 80% of CGM values will be successfully received by the Pod when the CGM is worn within line of sight of the Pod. The System informs the user of missing CGM values in real time by the dashes on the home screen or by missed dots on the CGM Graph. For additional information on communication errors in the Omnipod 5 System, see Chapter 21. To maintain quality of service when other devices operating in the 2.4 GHz band are around, the Omnipod 5 System uses the coexistence features provided by Bluetooth wireless technology. Electromagnetic Compatibility The information contained in this section (such as separation distances) is, in general, specifically written with regard to the Omnipod 5 System. The numbers provided will not guarantee faultless operation but should provide reasonable assurance of such. This information may not be applicable to other medical electrical equipment; older equipment may be particularly susceptible to interference. 356 Appendix General Notes The Omnipod 5 System has been tested and found to have acceptable immunity to emissions from RFID and EAS systems. The Omnipod 5 System is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the System should ensure that it is used in such an environment. Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in this document and the instructions for use. If the Omnipod 5 System fails due to electromagnetic disturbances, you may need to replace it. Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect the function of medical electrical equipment. Caution: Use ONLY the USB charging cable that you received in the box with your Controller. AVOID using alternative charging cables or other accessories, as they may damage the Controller or affect the way it charges in the future. If you must use a different cable, use only cables less than or equal to 4 feet (1.2 meters) in length. Care should be taken if the Omnipod 5 System is used adjacent to other electrical equipment; if adjacent use is inevitable, such as in work environments, the Omnipod 5 System should be observed to verify normal operation in this setting. The Omnipod 5 System communicates by low-level RF energy. As with all RF receivers, the potential for disturbance exists, even with equipment that complies with FCC and CISPR emissions requirements. The Omnipod 5 System communicates with the following characteristics:
Frequency: 2.400-2.480 GHz, digitally modulated, with an effective Isotropic radiated power of 1.14mW The Omnipod 5 System complies with the immunity requirements of the general standard for electromagnetic compatibility, IEC 60601-1-2. Caution: DO NOT use portable radio frequency (RF) communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) closer than 12 inches (30 cm) to any part of the Omnipod 5 System, as it may impact the communication between your smartphone or Controller and your Pod. 357 Appendix Electromagnetic Emissions This equipment is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The user of this equipment should ensure that is used in such an environment. Emissions Electromagnetic environment The Pod, Controller, and CGM emit low-

Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflections from structures, objects, and people. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast, cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. In order to assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the equipment is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the equipment should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the equipment.
