Overall results from the testing process

Monitor electronically recorded actuation Written diary actuation log
Yes No
Yes 2796 3
No 4
Sensitivity* 99.9% (99.6%)
Positive predictive value* 99.9% (99.7%)

1. Data from day 0 uploaded to V.7.7 Smartinhaler Connection Centre programme. Subsequently, all data were uploaded to V.7.8 Smartinhaler Connection Centre programme.

2. Investigators were unable to access the Adherium website to upload data on day 14, so data were uploaded on day 15 when access was gained.

3. All data from day 14 (320/320 actuations) were 1 h discrepant (to within 3 min), in keeping with the time prior to the cessation of the New Zealand daylight savings period on day 8. This discrepancy applied to data on day 14 only.

*Sensitivity is the proportion of diary actuations electronically recorded by the monitor expressed as a percentage (lower 97.5% confidence bound). Positive predictive value is the proportion of monitor recorded actuations that were recorded in the diary expressed as a percentage (lower 97.5% confidence bound).
