Hazard Information

The failure occurs if a user on the Omnipod 5 iOS application selects and holds down on a manual entry field, to magnify the visual field using the magnifying feature of the iPhone, while simultaneously selecting a single number on the keyboard. This causes the single digit number to duplicate. This could result in errors in manual entry of digits - examples: bolus entry, I:C ratio, bolus calculator, prior to starting the bolus insulin delivery. Therefore, this may result in over delivery of insulin which may cause hypoglycemia.
