About Automated Mode 2121 About Automated Mode
e System can automatically increase, decrease, or pause insulin delivery.
e System can pause automated insulin delivery at any time to protect against
hypoglycemia and will always pause when your glucose is below 60 mg/dL. e
System can increase insulin delivery by delivering a series of microboluses to
respond to elevated glucose.
e maximum automated insulin delivery that can be given while in Automated
Mode is based on your insulin history and your current insulin on board (IOB).
is value is not related to your maximum basal rate setting.
Your baseline adaptive basal rate is based on how much insulin you needed in the
past. Over time, the Omnipod 5 System will learn your daily insulin needs and
adapt, resulting in your adaptive basal rate changing to better match your true
insulin needs at every Pod change.
e Pod contains SmartAdjust technology, which adjusts your adaptive basal rate.
You will stay in Automated Mode when the Controller or smartphone running
your Omnipod 5 App is out of range of the Pod. When the Pod and Controller or
smartphone are in range, the Pod sends its information back to the Omnipod 5
App, updating its Home screen to show your current IOB along with recent CGM
value and trend.
e automated insulin delivery amount given every 5 minutes while in
Automated Mode can be seen in the Auto Events tab of the History Detail screen.
See "Automated Events (Auto Events)" on page 146.
e CGM graph on the Home screen shows when the Omnipod 5 System paused
insulin delivery or has reached the maximum delivery. See "11.2. Viewing the
CGM Graph" on page 134.
Note: e Controller or smartphone running the Omnipod 5 App must be in
Pod communication range to receive the most up-to-date information.
