• While IG-A10U can inactivate and eliminate suspended viruses and other
contaminants, it cannot create a completely sterile environment. SHARP does
not guarantee its ability to prevent microbial infection.
• To enable stable emission of high-density Plasmacluster ions, the Plasmacluster
Ion Generating Unit mounted in IG-A10U will need to be replaced periodically*
* Replacement is required approximately every 2 years (17,500 hours) when operated 24 hours a day. IG-
A10U will stop operating after about 26 months (19,000 hours) if the Plasmacluster Ion Generating Unit
is not replaced.
