Unitehprom BSU Unitary enterprise (UE) is a developer and producer of a multifunctional 
automated spirometer MAS. 
Spirometer MAS is an autonomous medical diagnostic device which facilitates the 
screening or more profound examinations of the respiratory system as well as the determination of 
more than 40 parameters of the pulmonary system. 
Each MAS spirometer is equipped with a Child Monitor statistical data processing 
program, which is designed for determining the growth retardation in children (forced expiratory 
volume-1 and lung capacity analysis) and may be especially useful when monitoring people 
suffering from bronchial asthma. The examination protocol always contains the information on the 
respiratory function (RF) at the date of examination and the estimation of the dynamics of RF 
parameters for the whole period of the patient monitoring. 
The standard software also includes animated instructions which help children conduct 
breathing tests properly and reveal additional spirometry possibilities for people with reduced 
hearing. 
Our equipment facilitates the conduction and automated interpretation of bronchodilatory 
tests accounting for the reversibility of the broncho-obstructive syndrome and determining the 
severity of COLD (chronic obstructive lung disease) as well as the conduction and automated 
interpretation of pharmacological provocation tests for the purpose of determining the hyper-
reactivity of respiratory tract. 
Asthma-monitor program is used for daily monitoring of the exhalation peak rate of the 
volume flow (PEF) and of forced expiratory volume-1 (FEV1) in children with asthma (the 
program is used in hospitals). 
The examination protocols of breathing function facilitate the interpretation of the results 
“at a glance”, meaning that the interpretation does not require the analysis of numerical values of 
the measured parameters, which makes it possible for general practitioners to conduct the screening 
estimation of spirograms during large-scale examinations. Moreover, MAS spirometer calculates 
and prints the quality and confidence criteria of spirometric tests within printed examination 
protocol, which are recommended by ATS/ERS-2005. 
MAS spirometers are quite efficient, since they may be used together with antibacterial 
filters as well as reusable and single-use materials without the loss of the precision and accuracy of 
the spirometrical test data.  
The equipment complies with the safety requirements of the European Union for medical 
equipment: EC certificate No.10 0456 QS/NB issued on May 28, 2010 
The quality management system is certified under ISO13485:2003, certificate No. 10.252.026 
issued on March 18, 2010  
The spirometer is registered in the Republic of Belarus: registration certificate ИМ-7.4473/1003 
The certificate of compliance of the Republic of Belarus No. BY/112 03.03.048 00032 
The spirometer is registered in the Russian Federation: registration certificate No. 2006/2058 
issued on December 19, 2006
