Three features
Omnipod 5 is a hybrid closed loop
(HCL) system so has:
• SmartAdjustTM technology: The
Omnipod 5 Pod is enhanced
with a control algorithm called
SmartAdjust technology. Every five
minutes, SmartAdjust technology
receives sensor value and trend
data, and it takes this information
and predicts where glucose will be
60 minutes into the future. It then
increases, decreases, or pauses
automated insulin using the user's
customized Target Glucose.
• Activity feature: When enabled,
the Activity feature increases the
glucose target to 8.3 mmol/L (150
mg/dL) and reduces automated
insulin delivery for up to 24 hours,
for times when glucose typically
goes low, like when exercising.
• SmartBolus Calculator: This is
currently the only tubeless AID
system with a built-in bolus
calculator that will suggest bolus
amounts based on individual
settings, entered values, and CGM
trends if glucose levels are static,
rising or falling.
To benefit from automated insulin
delivery, the Omnipod 5 System
connects to a compatible continuous
glucose monitoring sensor. Omnipod
5 is currently compatible with the
Dexcom G6 and FreeStyle Libre
2 Plus sensors in the UK and the
Netherlands.
At launch, users of the Omnipod 5
System integrated with FreeStyle
Libre 2 Plus sensor will not be able
to share their real-time glucose data
with guardians/caregivers. When
using Omnipod 5 with the FreeStyle
Libre 2 Plus sensor, all real-time
glucose readings, notifications, and
alarms will be automatically sent
to the Omnipod 5 App only, which
does not have real-time data-sharing
functionality at this time. A caregiver
solution for users of the Omnipod
5 System with the FreeStyle
Libre 2 Plus sensor is currently in
development. More details will be
shared when available.
At launch, the Omnipod 5 System
will require a dedicated Controller,
which will be included in the Starter
Kit. We will provide more details on
smartphone compatibility when they
become available.
Insulet states that it is continuing
to improve the technology with
further simplification and integration
with other devices and a wider range
of sensors.
We will report on further details
as they become available.
