1Introduction
1.1. Welcome to your Omnipod® 5 System
e Omnipod® 5 System is the rst wearable, on-body, tubeless automated insulin
delivery system. e Omnipod 5 System consists of a tubeless insulin Pod, the
Omnipod® 5 app, and the Dexcom G6® Continuous Glucose Monitoring System.
e Omnipod 5 System continuously adapts and automatically delivers insulin to
your personal needs.
e Omnipod 5 System has several features to help manage your diabetes
including:
• Pod: e Pod provides continuous subcutaneous insulin delivery. It may be
worn for up to 3 days and can be lled with up to 200 units of U-100 rapid-
acting insulin (minimum 85 units).
• No tubing: ere is no tubing connecting the Pod to the Omnipod 5 app.
You can wear the Pod under your clothes and carry the Omnipod 5 app
separately. You can swim wearing the Pod and leave the Omnipod 5 app on
dry land. e Pod is waterproof to 25 feet (7.6 meters) for up to 60 minutes
(IP28). e controller provided is not waterproof.
• Omnipod® 5 application: e Omnipod 5 app allows you to select a basal
prole, target glucose and bolus settings; activate and deactivate the Pod,
connect with a Dexcom G6, and select insulin delivery mode. e Omnipod
5 System allows you to use the Omnipod 5 app with your own compatible
smartphone or an Insulet-provided controller. For a list of the latest
compatible smartphones, please visit https://omnipod.com/compatibility.
• Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System: e
Omnipod 5 System is designed to work with the Dexcom G6. CGM values
and trends can be used for automated insulin delivery in Automated Mode, as
well as bolus calculations in both Automated and Manual Mode.
• Two modes of operation: e Omnipod 5 System provides the following
modes of operation: Automated and Manual. e Omnipod 5 System
enables you to switch between modes when required conditions are met. e
system behaves dierently depending on which mode you select.
• Automated Mode: Each Pod contains an algorithm that adjusts insulin
every 5 minutes to bring your glucose value to your customized glucose
target. e adjustment is based on a prediction of where your blood
glucose will be 60 minutes in the future and considers your CGM value
and trend, adaptive basal rate and insulin that is still working in your body.
• Manual Mode: e Omnipod 5 System delivers insulin based on user-
dened Basal Programs. During Manual Mode, there is no automated
adjustment of insulin delivery.
• HypoProtect™: While in Automated Mode, you can use HypoProtect™ in
times when you need less insulin, for example, when you are getting ready to

Introduction 1
exercise. When HypoProtect is activated, the system gives less basal insulin
and aims for a Target Blood Glucose of 150 mg/dL.
• Bolus Calculator: If your glucose level is high or if you are planning to eat,
the Bolus Calculator can suggest a bolus amount of insulin based on your
individual settings, entered values, and CGM trend when available. e
Bolus Calculator allows for the immediate delivery of the bolus insulin in
both Automated and Manual Mode. In Manual Mode, the Bolus Calculator
also allows for an extended bolus. e extended bolus can be customized to
deliver the bolus dose over a period of time.
• Food Library: Within the Bolus Calculator, there is an integrated food
library that contains thousands of common foods. You can use the Food
Library to BROWSE for individual items or create MY FOODS lists. When
you are about to eat, you can use the MY FOODS list or the BROWSE list to
transfer the number of carbs in a meal to the Bolus Calculator.
• Keeping Track of CGM and Insulin e Omnipod 5 System records up
to 90 days of information, including basal rates, bolus doses, carbohydrates,
alarms, and glucose-related data. In Automated Mode, the system records
automated insulin delivery and corresponding CGM values every 5 minutes.
e Home screen features a CGM graph which allows for reference of your
CGM values and displays some information about insulin delivery.
• Pod Site tracker: When activating a new Pod, the System provides the option
to track where you have applied a Pod. is allows you to reference past Pod
sites when deciding where to place your next Pod.

Introduction 1
Warning: If you are having symptoms that are not consistent with your
blood glucose test results and you have followed all instructions described in
this User Guide, contact your healthcare provider.
Warning: e Omnipod 5 System should NOT be used at low atmospheric
pressure (below 700 hPA). 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).
Warning: e Omnipod 5 System should NOT be used in oxygen rich
environments (greater than 25% oxygen) or at high atmospheric pressure
(above 1060 hPA), both of 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.
Warning: Do NOT attempt to use the Omnipod 5 System before you receive
training. Inadequate training could put your health and safety at risk.
Caution: Do not navigate away from the Omnipod 5 app while you are in
the process of making changes to your insulin delivery programs. A phone
call or other distraction may cause you to miss an important alarm or update,
putting you at risk of developing hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. If you are
unsure about the insulin therapy being provided or about messages sent by your
Omnipod 5 app, review your alarms, your Home screen and your history records.
Potential benets
e benets of the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System may include:
• Adjusting insulin delivery based on CGM value and trend in order to reduce
the duration of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia and increase time spent in
normal glycemic range.
• Keeping glucose levels in range on a daily basis aids in preventing both short-
term (e.g. hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia) and long term complications.
• Continuous insulin delivery without the need to disconnect prevents elevated
glucose levels caused by short-term interruptions.
• Rotation of insulin infusion sites aids in prevention of infusion site
complications.

1Introduction
Potential risks
• e Omnipod 5 System uses CGM values and trends to calculate insulin
delivery. If the CGM values are inaccurate, the System could deliver
an inaccurate dose of insulin which could result in hypoglycemia or
hyperglycemia.
• Wearing a Pod might cause infection. Be aware of signs of infection
including: bleeding, pain, and skin irritation including redness. See your
healthcare provider if irritation occurs.
• Kinks or air bubbles in the cannula, or dislodging of the cannula can aect
insulin delivery. BGs that do not decrease aer a bolus, or other unexpected
high BGs are signs of a blockage and an interruption in insulin delivery.
• Hardware defects, soware glitches, and Pod failures can cause an
