Introduction
The Omnipod 5 G6 intro kit (gen 5) integration has been extended and now it works with Dexcom G7 as well. This Omnipod G5 system is a tubeless insulin delivery system for people with type 1 diabetes aged 2 and above and people with type 2 diabetes aged 18 and above. The system consists of a tubeless insulin Pod, a compatible CGM (Dexcom G6 and G7 for Omnipod 5) and a smartphone-like Omnipod 5 controller or a compatible smartphone with Omnipod 5 App.
This waterproof system automatically adjusts your insulin delivery based on your blood sugar levels. Easily wear Omnipod on the place of your body where you usually inject insulin.
Significant features of Omnipod 5 G6 intro kit
The Smart Bolus Calculator suggests a bolus amount of insulin based on individual settings, entered values, and CGM values and trends, allowing for immediate delivery in both Automated and Manual modes. The Smart Bolus Calculator also allows for an extended bolus. You can customize it to deliver the bolus dose over a period of time in Manual Mode.
The Omnipod 5 starter kit has Smart Adjust technology that offers both Automated and Manual modes of operation. The Automated mode uses Smart Adjust technology to adjust insulin delivery every 5 minutes based on CGM values to achieve a customized glucose target. In Manual Mode, the system delivers insulin based on user-defined Basal Programs.
The Omnipod 5 System works with the Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7 to provide CGM values and trends for automated insulin delivery and bolus calculations. CGM guides the pump about the accurate dosage administration. The Omnipod system does not include a CGM, so with Omnipod G5 users will need to purchase either Dexcom G6 or Dexcom G7.
The advanced alert system for low and high glucose levels helps users proactively manage their blood sugar levels without any worries. Without this feature insulin overdose may result in hypoglycemia while lesser dosage would leave the hyperglycemia uncontrolled.
The Omnipod intro kit includes an activity feature. This remarkable function gives less insulin when enabled to achieve a Target Glucose of 150 mg/dL during exercise or times when less insulin is needed by your body.
The system records automated insulin delivery and corresponding CGM values every 5 minutes, and the home screen features a CGM graph that displays information about insulin delivery and automation status.
The Omnipod 5 G6 kit which now works with Dexcom G7 as well, is tubeless and wearable, consisting of a Pod and an Insulet-provided Controller or compatible smartphone with the Omnipod 5 App installed. These devices integrate to make a complete kit.
The first on-body, tubeless, automated insulin delivery system that continuously adapts to individual needs with a Smart Adjust technology and the Dexcom G6 CGM System.
