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, coee 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 rst-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 dierent 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 eect, 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 notications 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-O
Advisory Alarms when they occur. ese 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 ying or other situations where sudden changes or extremes of air pressure,
altitude, or gravity may be occurring. ough the Omnipod 5 System is safe to
use at atmospheric pressures typically found in airplane cabins during ight, the
atmosphere pressure in an airplane cabin can change during ight, which may
aect the Pod's insulin delivery. Rapid changes in altitude and gravity, such as
