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. e 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. e extended bolus
can be customized to deliver the bolus dose over a period of time.
Omnipod 5 SmartAdjust™ Technology Features
• Two modes of operation: e Omnipod 5 System provides the following
modes of operation: Automated and Manual. e Omnipod 5 System
enables you to switch between modes when required conditions are met. e
System behaves dierently 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.. e 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: e Omnipod 5 System delivers insulin based on user-
dened Basal Programs. During Manual Mode, there is no automated
adjustment of insulin delivery.
• Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System: e
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. e 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. e Home screen features a CGM graph which allows for reference
of your CGM values and displays some information about insulin delivery,
including automation status.
