Omnipod® 5 and compatible sensor integrations
How to get the full experience for your patients
In order to get all the advantages of automated insulin delivery (AID), your patients need a compatible sensor*. With a compatible sensor connected, Omnipod 5 automates insulin delivery to help keep your patients in range, day and night.1-2
Compatible with leading sensor brands in Canada
The Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System is compatible with the following:
Benefits of using a compatible sensor
The Omnipod 5 Algorithm
To help protect against highs and lows1-2 our algorithm adjusts to your patients’ insulin needs every 5 minutes based on readings from their sensor.
SmartBolus Calculator
The SmartBolus Calculator can suggest a bolus dose based on carb amounts and current sensor trend and value.
Activity Feature
When enabled, this feature reduces insulin delivery for times when glucose typically goes low, like during exercise.
Supporting optimal sensor performance: Line of sight
For Omnipod 5 to receive glucose readings every five minutes, the Pod and compatible sensor must have a clear “line of sight.” This means both devices should be worn on the same side of the body, without tissue blocking the Bluetooth® signal.
To help your patients learn how to optimize Pod and sensor placement for reliable sensor connectivity, share the following supporting materials:

Study included a 14-day standard therapy (ST) phase followed by a 3-month Omnipod 5 hybrid closed-loop (HCL) phase. Average time in range (70-180mg/dL or 3.9-10 mmol/L) (6AM-12AM) in adults/adolescents and children for standard therapy vs Omnipod 5 = 64.8% vs. 72.5%; 51.5% vs. 64.6%. Average time in range (70-180mg/dL or 3.9-10 mmol/L) in adults/adolescents and children for standard therapy vs Omnipod 5 = 64.3% vs. 78.1%; 55.3% vs. 78.1%. Mean time in hyperglycemic range (>10.0 mmol/L or >180mg/dL) as measured by CGM in adults/adolescents and children ST vs. 3-mo Omnipod 5: 28.9% vs. 22.8%; 44.8% vs 29.7%, P<0.0001, respectively. Mean time in hypoglycemic range (<3.9 mmol/L or <70 mg/dL) as measured by CGM in adults/adolescents and children ST vs. 3-mo Omnipod 5: 2.89% vs. 1.32%, P<0.0001; 2.21% vs. 1.78, P=0.8153, respectively.

Study included a 14-daystandard therapy (ST) phase followed by a 3-month AID phase with Omnipod 5system. Average time in range (70-180mg/dL or 3.9-10 mmol/L) (6AM-12AM) in standard therapy vs Omnipod 5 = 56.9% vs. 63.7%. Average time in range (70-180mg/dL or 3.9-10 mmol/L) (12AM-6AM) from CGM in standard therapy vs. Omnipod 5 = 58.2% vs 81.0%. Mean time in hyperglycemic range (>10.0 mmol/L or >180mg/dL) as measured by CGM in children ST vs. 3-mo Omnipod 5: 39.4% vs. 29.5%, P<0.0001, respectively. Mean time in hypoglycemic range (<3.9 mmol/L or <70 mg/dL) as measured by CGM in children ST vs. 3-mo Omnipod 5: 3.43% vs. 2.46%, P=0.0204.
