Omnipod 5 Pods. Model/Catalog number: PT-001662 ASM 5PK Pod STRL OPS G6G7

Due to a manufacturing defect, certain Omnipod 5 Pods from 49 lots have an internal soft cannula tear that results in insulin leaking into the Pod instead of being delivered to the user regardless of basal or bolus delivery. This defect results from damage to the unexposed portion of the soft cannula during manufacturing, which would result in a compromised fluid path. The primary failure mode is pump under-delivery due to loss of insulin to an internal leak; in some cases, the defect may also lead to pump shutoff and cessation of insulin delivery when leaked insulin contacts Pod circuity in a manner that results in an electrical short. Under-delivery of insulin (both basal and bolus insulin) or cessation of insulin put users at risk of hyperglycemia, and complications from acute and chronic hyperglycemia, including dehydration, blurry vision, nausea, vomiting, altered mental status, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS), or even death. Users may require hospitalization or medical intervention to treat severe adverse health consequences. Not all devices with the defect will issue an alarm or alert the user. If there is sufficient leakage of insulin to cause a short in the circuity, the Pod will issue a Hazard Alarm that stops all insulin delivery and alerts the user to replace their Pod. In addition, if a user s glucose is trending high and is not responding to insulin delivery, the system may reach the maximum amount of insulin microboluses allowed by the system and trigger the Automated Delivery Restriction (ADR) alert that tells users to check their blood glucose and take appropriate actions (i.e., ADR is a response to persistent hyperglycemia and maximum automated delivery constraints rather than a direct detection of the leak). The magnitude of under-delivery is unknown and based on multiple factors, including how much insulin is being delivered, whether an alarm and/or alert triggers, whether and when the user recognizes the device defect, the duration of Pod use, and the size of the tear.

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.

Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System, iOS Application. Model Number: PT-000664/M009-S-AP. Software Version: all Product Description: The Omnipod 5 iOS App software is available to downl

Insulet Corporation is recalling Omnipod 5 iOS App, due to a software design issue in which a comma is not recognized as a decimal separator and the user cannot enter a decimal separator in any manual entry screen if the user manually updates their phone settings to a region OUS that uses a decimal separator instead of a period decimal separator or chooses that format as a preference. Use of the affected software may result in over delivery of insulin by increasing the amount of insulin when a decimal separator is not recognized (e.g., 0.1 unit recognized as 1 unit) and thus may result in hypoglycemia, potentially severe.

Omnipod 5 App (on compatible Android smartphones), Software Versions 1.1 - 1.2.3 (current). US: PT-000599- Omnipod 5 App Software Package (provided through Google Play), EU: PT-001323- Omnipod 5 App

The bolus calculator is not recording the decimal point if it is the first value entered when changing a bolus dose. This may lead to an over-delivery of insulin to the user if the user does not recognize the error on the bolus calculator screen or the confirmation screen prior to starting the bolus.
