How does the Omnipod® 5 system help keep your diabetes under control?
The Omnipod® 5 is a state-of-the-art automated insulin delivery system. It’s the only tubeless hybrid closed-loop insulin pump integrated with the Dexcom G6 CGM.
The two devices are in constant communication with each other using SmartAdjust™ technology, which enables automatic insulin adjustments to increase, decrease or pause insulin delivery in response to changes in your sensor glucose readings.
The key benefits of Omnipod® 5:
- Tubeless and waterproof*
- No multiple daily injections or fingerpricks**
- Fully controlled by the Omnipod® 5 Controller†
- Helps to increase your time in range and reduce your time above range and time below range
- Flexible Glucose Targets and Activity Feature to fit your personal needs
- Convenient and Flexible Pay-As-You-Go system allows you to choose how long you use the system
- Your Glucose and Insulin Data can be automatically uploaded and shared with your HCP
*The Pod has an IP28 rating for up to 7.6 m or 25 feet for 60 minutes. The Controller is not waterproof. The Dexcom G6 sensor and transmitter are water-resistant and may be submerged under 2.4 metres (8 feet) of water for up to 24 hours without failure when properly installed.
**Fingerpricks required for diabetes treatment decisions if symptoms or expectations do not match readings.
†The Dexcom G6 is sold separately and must be used with the Dexcom G6 app on a compatible smartphone. The Dexcom G6 receiver is not compatible with Omnipod 5.
How does the Omnipod 5® system work?
The Omnipod® 5 is made up of three simple parts:
- The Pod – The Pod is a small wearable device that you fill with insulin and wear directly on your body. It is tubeless, waterproof and attached to your body with adhesive.
- The Controller – Take control of the system with the Omnipod® 5 Controller. Monitor and control the Pod's operations using Bluetooth® wireless technology
- The Dexcom® G6 CGM system – The Dexcom G6 is a wearable continuous glucose monitoring device. The Pod and the Dexcom G6 constantly communicate to automatically adjust your insulin levels based on your real-time glucose values.
The three parts of the Omnipod® 5 work together so that you can enjoy automated insulin delivery. It’s always adjusting – so you don’t have to.
