Important 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 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
those typically found on amusement
park rides or ight take-o and
landing, can aect 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
aer a pause period has ended
during Manual Mode use. Insulin
delivery does not automatically
start aer a pause. If you do not start
insulin delivery, you could develop
hyperglycemia.
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. is 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 aer
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 ll
syringe into the ll port and not into
any other location on the Pod. Do
not insert the ll syringe more than
once into the ll port. Use only the ll
syringe and needle that came with your
Pod. e ll syringe is intended for
