Insulet has announced a [Medical Device Correction for the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.omnipod.com%2Finsulet-alerts&esheet=52968613&newsitemid=20221114005715&lan=en-US&anchor=Medical+Device+Correction+for+the+Omnipod%26%23174%3B+5+Automated+Insulin+Delivery+System&index=1&md5=99cdb39b512a8637ac54c06eac7c01c7&ref=fdaweb.com) because of an issue with the Omnipod 5 Controller charging port and cable. The correction follows 24 reports the company says it received about the Omnipod 5 Controller charging port (USB-C port) or cable (USB cable) melting, deforming, or discoloring due to heat generated by a poor connection between the cable and the port. “The excess heat may cause minor burns if those areas of the controller are touched or could lead to fire,” the company says. Omnipod 5 users are being notified by email with instructions on how to detect and reduce the risk of an issue with the charging port or cable, according to the company.
