Can my patient use the Dexcom G7 receiver, instead of the Dexcom G7 app, as part of the Omnipod 5 system?

No, the Dexcom G7 receiver cannot be used as part of the OmnipodÆ 5 System. Users must use the Dexcom G7 mobile app on a compatible device as part of the system.  Visit dexcom.com/compatibility.

Why does my patient have to use the Dexcom G7 Mobile App, instead of the receiver?

The Omnipod 5 System requires the Dexcom G7 mobile app, not the Dexcom G7 receiver, to set-up the Dexcom G7 CGM System. The Dexcom G7 can only connect with one medical device, either the Dexcom G7 receiver or the Pod, at a time. Omnipod 5 provides automated insulin delivery with the Pod and Dexcom G7 continuously connected. This means that, to remain in automated mode, the Pod must be the medical device that Dexcom connects with and the Dexcom receiver cannot be used. The Dexcom G7 app also offers many great features including Follow, Clarity and Smart Watch functionality.
