Figure Lengend Snippet: Components of the commercially intended Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System. From left to right: (1) tubeless insulin pump (Pod) containing the automated insulin delivery algorithm (52 × 39 × 14.5 mm without adhesive, 26 g when empty); (2) Omnipod 5 application (app), pictured running on provided locked-down smartphone handheld device (144 × 67.6 × 12.4 mm, 165 g); (3) interoperable CGM (Dexcom G6, see Dexcom product documentation for additional information). The Pod is a lightweight, waterproof (IP28), self-adhesive insulin pump that delivers insulin through an automatically inserted cannula. The automated insulin delivery algorithm is built into the Pod, which receives glucose measurements every 5 min directly from the on-body CGM. The algorithm then commands the Pod to deliver microboluses every five minutes based on current and projected glucose values, with the goal of achieving and maintaining a set target glucose value. The user interacts with the system through the Omnipod 5 app, which communicates with the Pod through Bluetooth ® wireless technology. Actions performed using the app include: complete initial setup, activate and deactivate Pods, start Automated Mode, use the bolus calculator, deliver insulin boluses, enable the HypoProtect feature, view insulin delivery and CGM history, respond to system alerts and alarms, check Pod status, and adjust settable parameters. The app home screen (pictured) prominently displays the current CGM value and trend, as well as the amount of insulin on board, information about the last bolus, and a link to view the CGM history graph. The bolus calculator is accessed using the circular icon near the bottom of the screen. Since the algorithm runs on the Pod, and the Pod and CGM are both worn on-body and communicate directly, automated insulin delivery can continue uninterrupted even if the handheld device containing the app is not nearby.
