Insulet Omnipod 5 iPhone App FDA Cleared

Insulet claimed a big win for its Omipod 5 hybrid closed-loop system today with the news it’s received FDA 510(k) clearance for the device’s accompanying app for iPhone. Already available on Android, the iPhone app clearance makes the Omnipod 5 the only tubeless automated insulin delivery (AID) system with full control from a compatible smartphone, according to the company. This gives more options for patients who prefer not to carry the separate device controller with them.
