21.1. About Automated Mode
Warning: AVOID administering insulin, such as by injection or inhalation,
while wearing an active Pod as this could result in hypoglycemia. e
Omnipod 5 System cannot track insulin that is administered outside of
the system. Consult your healthcare provider about how long to wait aer
manually administering insulin before you start Automated Mode.
Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current CGM value, trust how your
body feels, and do not ignore symptoms of high and low glucose. Even
though insulin delivery adjusts automatically in Automated Mode with the
goal of bringing your glucose level to your dened Target Glucose, severe
hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia may still occur.
If your CGM values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check your
blood glucose using a BG meter, consider treatment and/or CGM sensor
calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are
receiving inaccurate CGM values.
• Erroneously high CGM values can cause excessive insulin delivery,
leading to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, loss of consciousness or death.
• Erroneously low CGM values can cause prolonged insulin suspension
leading to hyperglycemia, DKA, or death.
If you are having symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose
readings and you have followed all instructions described in this User Guide,
contact your healthcare provider.
Caution: ALWAYS check your glucose prior to delivering a bolus so you are
better informed on how much to take. Delivering a bolus without checking
your glucose could result in over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which
can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Automated Mode is the dening feature of the Omnipod 5 System. In Automated
Mode, the system automatically adjusts your insulin delivery every 5 minutes,
based on the current CGM value and trend, with the goal of bringing your glucose
to your dened Target Glucose.
Note: ALWAYS bolus for meals as directed by your healthcare provider. In
Automated Mode, bolus doses for meals still require your programming and
delivery. Failure to deliver a bolus for meals could lead to hyperglycemia.
How insulin is calculated and delivered during Automated Mode
e Omnipod 5 System uses your insulin delivery history to determine how
much insulin your body needs. e calculated amount is known as the adaptive
basal rate, which provides a baseline for automated delivery.
