“We are incredibly proud of this simple-to-use, elegant system, designed to deliver unmatched freedom and to greatly simplify insulin management and improve glucose control for our users.”

Users can download the mobile app on a personal smartphone or use the Omnipod 5 Controller, which is provided free with the first prescription.

The company stated that SmartAdjust receives a Dexcom CGM value and trend every five minutes and predicts where the users’ glucose level will be in the next 60 minutes.

Using this information, the Omnipod 5 system increases, decreases or pauses the delivery of insulin using the patient’s desired and customised glucose target.

This helps protect patients against highs and lows.

Insulet will launch the Omnipod 5 system through the pharmacy channel and later offer it in a limited market release.

Shortly after the limited market release, the system is expected to be broadly available in the market.

Last March, the company reported positive data from the first pivotal trial of the Omnipod 5 system.
