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.
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.
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.
