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.

What You Should Do

Patients and healthcare providers should stop using this device immediately. Follow the recall instructions provided by the manufacturer. Contact Insulet Corporation or your healthcare provider for instructions. Notification method: E-Mail

About This Product

Omnipod 5 is a wireless insulin pump system controlled by a mobile app. The iOS app manages bolus delivery and dosing calculations. The recall concerns a software bug in the iOS app that can alter dose entries when magnifying digits.

Why This Is Dangerous

The magnify-and-enter bug can duplicate a single digit, leading to incorrect bolus, ratio settings, or calculator results. This may cause over-delivery of insulin and hypoglycemia.
