Important Safety InformationImportant Safety Information
can be interrupted and may not be
completed.
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
modications. 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. ese 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, notications,
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
"26.5. Pod Communication Issues –
"Try Again"" on page 337.
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- 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: 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 notications 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
notications from your Omnipod
5 App, such as Digital Wellbeing for
