The number in this technology mark represents an approximation of the number of ions discharged into the air per cubic centimeter (cm 3 )
measured with the unit’s stand fully opened and, using a reference point approximately 80 cm from the unit’s discharge vent, at distances
20 cm above, 10 cm below, and 20 cm horizontally to the left and right centered on that point.
Plasmacluster’s skin beautifying effects
Actual effectiveness will vary according to the season, room conditions (temperature, humidity, airflow, etc.), usage duration, and person.
Plasmacluster’s
skin moisturizing
mechanism
The water molecules that surround
Plasmacluster Ions adhere to
the skin, forming a “water molecule
coating.” This keeps the stratum
corneum (skin surface) moist.
Moisture

No ions
Skin surface (stratum corneum)

Tested by: The Research Institute of Electrical Communication at Tohoku University
Test results: Confirmed that Plasmacluster Ions allowed the formation of a water molecule
coating on the skins surface.

Plasmacluster technology is effective in suppressing the action of airborne viruses, and in decomposing and eliminating airborne allergens
such as dust mite feces and dried, dead mite body parts. However, it cannot create a completely sterile environment, and Sharp does not
guarantee its ability to prevent microbial infection.

Credible academics and professionals have validated
the effects of Plasmacluster technology.
■Plasmacluster’s suppression mechanism (the images below are illustrations)
Breaks down and removes
airborne allergens
such as dust mite feces and dead dustmites
■Removal of dust mite allergens in airborne
house dust
●Tested by: Hiroshima University Graduate
School of Advanced Sciences of Matter
●Test method: The effect of airbone dust mite
allergens in an uncleaned room (about 30 m 3 in
volume) was measured in an actual home by
the ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbant
Assay) method. Sharp converted the results
and calculated the average value.
(Plasmacluster Ion density: 3,000 ions/cm 3 )
●Test results: After four weeks, Plasmacluster
Ions removed over 99.9% of airborne allergens.
Suppresses the effects
of airborne viruses
This was tested in an enclosed, 1-m 3 box for 10 minutes.
It has not been tested in an open environment.
■Suppression of airborne virus effectiveness
●Tested by: Retroscreen Virology Ltd., UK
●Test method: Viruses were suspended in the
air inside a 1-m3 box, and the percentage of
airborne viruses removed was measured.
●Test results: (1) In about 10 minutes,
Plasmacluster Ion density of 7,000 ions/cm3 removed 99.0% of airborne viruses. (2) In about
10 minutes, density of 50,000 ions/cm3 removed 99.9% of airborne viruses.* 1

Breaks down and
removes airborne mold
■Removal of airborne mold
●Tested by: Ishikawa Health Service
Association, Japan
●Test method: Plasmacluster Ions were emitted
into an experimental chamber about 30 m3 in
volume, and airborne mold was measured with
an air sampler. Sharp has graphed the results
using approximate figures. (Plasmacluster Ion
density: 3,000 ions/cm3 )
●Test results: In about 195 minutes,
Plasmacluster Ions removed 99.0% of airborne
mold.
The following condition can ensure an ion
density nearly the same as the
Plasmacluster Ion density in the 1 m 3 box
used in the virus proof test.
*Actual numbers of ions and
disinfecting/purifying effectiveness will vary
according to the room conditions (air
conditioning, ventilayion, airflow, product
location, etc.) and the operation method
(direction ions are blowing, whether the
stand is fully open or not, etc.). Test results
do not guarantee similar results in an
actual space.

Suppresses the activity
of airborne microbes
■Suppression of airborne microbe activity
●Tested by: Dr. Melvin First, Harvard School of
Public Health, USA
●Test method: Microbe was inserted into the air
of an approx. 40 m3 experimental chamber. The
remaining microbe was collected to measure
the removal rate. (Plasmacluster Ion density:
4,700 ions/cm3 )
●Test results: In about 38 minutes,
Plasmacluster Ions removed 99.0% of airborne
microbe.
Suppresses the proliferation
of adhering mold
■Suppression and removal of adhering mold
●Tested by: Japan Food Research Laboratories
●Test results: No. 09010744001-01 on October
27, 2009
●Test method: Sharp generated ions in a
2.6-m3 space, grew mold on PVC plates for 5
days, and entrusted them to a test institution.
Mold growth areas were compared as directed
by JIS Z2911. (Plasmacluster Ion density:
25,000 ions/cm3 )
●Test results: Suppressed proliferation of
adhering mold after five days.
Removes static electricity
■Removal of static electricity
●Tested by: Sharp Corporation
●Test method: An acrylic plate was placed
inside a 1-m3 airtight box. Plasmacluster Ions
were generated inside the box and the amount
of static electricity was measured.
(Plasmacluster Ion density: 25,000 ions/cm3 )
●Test results: After approx. 7.5 minutes the
initial static potential of 4.0 kV had dropped to
1.0 kV.
Breaks down and
removes clinging odors
■Removal of cigarette smoke odor from cloth
●Tested by: Japan Spinners Inspecting
Foundation
●Test method: To evaluate deodorizing
effectiveness, the six-level odor intensity
indication method was used on a cloth swatch
impregnated with cigarette smoke odor
components. Sharp has converted and
calculated the results. (Plasmacluster Ion
density: 20,000 ions/cm3 )
●Test results: Odor became unnoticeable after
approx. one hour.
*1 For this product, the ion density measured with the unit’s stand fully open, using a reference point approximately 80 cm from the unit’s discharge vent, at distances 20 cm above, 10 cm below, and 20 cm horizontally to the left and right centered on that point.
Battery life under
continuous use:
approx.
8 hours
Thanks to its lithium-ion battery, users can take it anywhere and use it anytime.
The IG-CM1 can be used generously
whether eating lunch outdoors or
commuting by train, even in places with no
power.
●Full battery charge time: approx. 4 hours 45 minutes
Users can charge the device by connecting the
power cord to an AC outlet, as well as by
connecting to a computer via USB cable.* 2
In places where an outlet is hard to reach, such as
an office desk, the IG-CM1 is very convenient.
*2 The unit-charging accessory can be connected to a computer via USB cable, but please check the specifications of your computer in advance. In addition, we cannot guarantee that computer operation failure or other troubles such as
data loss due to this connection will not occur.
