Product

Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System

Reason for recall

An error message was received when using the Omnipod 5 App on compatible smartphones that prevented phone control users from controlling the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System from their Omnipod 5 App which may cause a delay in therapy. To reduce the volume of inquiries Insulet was receiving from customers, an email was sent to all phone control users and the cause of the error message was resolved by reverting to prior certificates on the Insulet cloud to secure communications between the Omnipod 5 App sotware and the Insulet Cloud. This issue was limited to only certain compatible Android smartphones and did not affect the Omnipod 5 Pods or the dedicated locked-down Controller provided by Insulet. All other Omnipod 5 users were still able to manage their insulin with the device without use of the smartphone app and affected users were able to switch to the locked-down control provided to all users when they initiated the device during the time the App was unavailable to them
