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. ese
conditions could expose the Pod to
extreme temperatures and may also
aect 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. is 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). Change
in atmospheric pressure can also
occur during take-o with air travel.
Unintended insulin delivery can occur
if there is expansion of tiny air bubbles
that may exist inside the Pod. is can
result in hypoglycemia. It is important
to check your glucose frequently
when ying 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 can 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.
Controller and Smartphone
Warning: ALWAYS identify the
Omnipod 5 App as yours before using
it. Using someone else's Omnipod
5 App can result in incorrect insulin
delivery for both of you.
Warning: ALWAYS keep your
Omnipod 5 App secure and within
your control to ensure others cannot
make changes to your insulin therapy
which can lead to hypoglycemia or
hyperglycemia. Do not share your
Controller PIN or your smartphone
screen lock security with anyone.
Warning: ALWAYS contact
Customer Care if your Omnipod 5
System Controller is damaged and
not working properly. If a Controller
