Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The physicial device was not returned for investigation.Cloud data from the user for the day of (b)(6) 2026 was downloaded and reviewed.Review of the cloud data found no boluses delivered of 2.1 u on the date of occurrence.The closest bolus amount found was 2.15 u delivered at 19:42 on (b)(6) 2026.The cloud data showed that this bolus was based on a carb entry of 35 g, which was correctly calculated based on the user's insulin to carb ratio of 1:16.Review of the patient history buffer (phb) data found no abnormally large microboluses recorded.The phb data showed that, while the system was in automated mode, the automated algorithm was able to appropriately adjust the microbolus amounts based on the estimated glucose values and user inputs.Without log files, it could not be determined if the controller was interacted with to program and start the 2.15 u bolus or any of the other boluses recorded in the cloud on this day.The exact cause of the reported uncommanded bolus could not be determined.Cloud - locked down/smartphone phone_control_ios.Cloud - omnipod 5 software app version 2.1.0.Cloud - operating system 26.3.Cloud - hardware iphone17.5.Cloud - cgm sensor type data not available.Please note, the device identifiers are captured as reported by the complainant and may not align with the device configuration reported in this section as this data is pulled from our cloud based on the reported date of event.
