What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: a duplicated digit in a dosing entry can produce a substantial dosing error, and no injuries are reported.
Plain-English summary
The Omnipod 5 iOS application, all software versions 2.X.X, UDI 10385083000459, is being recalled.
The failure occurs if a user 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, which could result in errors in manual entry of digits, with examples given including bolus entry, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio and the bolus calculator.
The recall covers 174,013 units, distributed nationwide in the United States. The FDA has classified the action as Class II.
