Insulet Announces FDA 510(k) Clearance of Omnipod® 5 Algorithm Enhancements that Redefine Insulin Delivery and Simplify the Pod Experience
- New 100 mg/dL Target Glucose setting offers more customization and tighter glucose management.
- Enhanced algorithm helps users remain in Automated Mode to improve the user experience.
- Most requested new features enable healthcare providers to more effectively modify diabetes therapy to meet needs of people with diabetes.
“This is the most significant algorithm advancement to our Omnipod 5 System since its launch in 2022,” said Eric Benjamin, Insulet Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “These new features address the two most requested enhancements and reflect our relentless commitment to delivering meaningful innovation for those living with diabetes and the healthcare providers who support them. Every improvement we make is designed to strengthen clinical outcomes while making the Pod experience simpler, more personalized, and so seamless it disappears into everyday life.”
More Flexibility with a Lower Target Glucose Setting
The new 100 mg/dL Target Glucose expands Omnipod 5’s customization range to six settings between 100-150 mg/dL in 10 mg/dL increments. This flexibility allows healthcare providers to tailor insulin delivery more precisely, supporting individuals seeking tighter glucose management or those striving to meet specific glucose goals. It also directly impacts automated insulin delivery and improves the algorithm’s responsiveness. Real world evidence has shown that lowering the glucose target is associated with increased time in range, with no clinically meaningful change in Time Below Range1 (TBR).
Designed with Patients and HCPs in Mind
In addition, the upgraded Omnipod 5 algorithm helps users stay in Automated Mode with fewer interruptions, even during prolonged high glucose events. These advancements are designed to deliver strong clinical results with increased flexibility and greater ease of use, with fewer interruptions to daily life.
“These enhancements to the Omnipod 5 algorithm are a meaningful step forward. As a clinician, it’s exciting to offer patients a system that not only supports strong clinical outcomes but also builds their confidence in managing diabetes daily. More target glucose options and fewer interruptions mean a better experience for people with diabetes and their families,” said Dr. Anita Swamy, MD, Pediatric Endocrinologist and Medical Director of the Chicago Children’s Diabetes Center.
The updates to the Omnipod 5 algorithm are anticipated to launch in
