15.1. About Automated Mode
Warning: In Automated Mode, bolus doses for meals still require
your programming and delivery based on your healthcare provider's
recommendations. Failure to deliver a bolus when needed could result in
hyperglycemia.
Warning: e Omnipod 5 System cannot track insulin that is administered
outside of the system. Administering insulin, such as by injection, while
wearing an active Pod could result in hypoglycemia. Consult your healthcare
provider about how long to wait aer manually administering insulin before
you start Automated Mode.
Warning: If you notice that your CGM value does not match your
symptoms, check your blood glucose using a BG meter, consider treatment
and/or CGM sensor calibration if necessary, and contact your healthcare
provider.
• Always make sure you are using the CGM per manufacturer’s
instructions and do not extend the sensor wear beyond the
recommended duration.
• Erroneously high CGM values can cause excessive insulin delivery,
leading to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, loss of consciousness and death.
• Erroneously low CGM values can cause prolonged insulin suspension
leading to hyperglycemia, DKA, and death.
Caution: Always check your glucose prior to delivering a bolus.
Automated Mode is the dening feature of the Omnipod 5 System. In Automated
Mode, the system will automatically adjust your insulin delivery every 5 minutes,
based on current CGM value and trend, with the goal of bringing your glucose
level to your dened Target BG.
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.
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 levels.
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. is
value is not related to your maximum basal rate setting.
