CONTINUOUS INFECTIOUS MICROBIAL REDUCTION (CIMR®)
Active Air and Surface Pathogen Scavenging Technology
A Unique and Proprietary Solution
SECTION 1
HOW CAN…
•
•
•
•
People safely occupy shared indoor air spaces?
Indoor air and surfaces be sanitized effectively to ensure a healthy environment?
We combat and eliminate the transmission and spreading of pathogens (viruses, bacteria,
fungi, and molds).
We be protected from future variations and mutations 24/7/365.
CIMR®’S CAPABILITIES
•
•
•
•
CIMR®'s Air Infusion Technology is designed specifically to kill airborne and surface
pathogens.
CIMR® is an ultra-low level, safe and effective Hydrogen Peroxide-based air and surface
disinfectant system that produces zero ozone.
Hydrogen Peroxide (water and oxygen) actively targets and deactivates both aerosolized and
surface pathogens in enclosed spaces.
CIMR® produces 0.02 ppm (parts per million) of Hydrogen Peroxide at 1/50th of OSHA
(Occupational Safety and Health and Administration) limits.
2H2 O2

CIMR® continuously purifies the air much faster than other systems and chemicals.
CIMR® is military-grade technology and scientifically proven through numerous independent
lab tests.
CIMR® eliminates up to 99.9% pathogens.
Similar levels of Hydrogen Peroxide are present in the outside air.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
CAUTION!
Unplug the CIMR® unit before performing any maintenance procedures.
•
•
•
•
•
Periodic maintenance is required to ensure that you CIMR® unit operates properly.
The CIMR® unit will display a PERFORM CLEANING reminder when it’s time to perform
regular maintenance.
If you are operating your CIMR® unit in a severely polluted environment, cleaning of the
CIMR® unit, the CIMR® cell, and filter assembly should be done more frequently.
For optimal performance and to prevent damage not covered by your warranty, install
the optional HEPA Filter.
Failure to perform routine maintenance could adversely affect the proper function of the
CIMR® unit or cause it to fail prematurely.
NOTE
•
•
If a CIMR® unit is returned for repair, and it is determined that neglect of the CIMR® unit
or unauthorized tampering with any mechanical or electronic component of the CIMR®
unit caused the failure, CIMR® reserves the right to void the warranty.
This will require the owner to pay for any required repairs.
Cleaning the case
•
•
•
Wipe the CIMR® unit with a soft cloth dampened (not wet) with water.
Do not use chemicals or solvents.
Vacuum the top and rear grills periodically to remove any lint buildup.

•
Unplug the CIMR® unit before performing any maintenance procedures.
13 | P a g e
•
•
To clean the CIMR® cells, remove them carefully and vacuum accumulated dust/residue.
Do not wash the CIMR® cells. Damage from water may result in the voidance of the
warranty.
Filter assembly cleaning
•
•
•
When visibly dirty, simply remove the rear filter assembly from the CIMR® unit and with a
hand-held vacuum, remove the heavy particulate. This method will extend the life of the Filter
Assembly.
If the filter assembly can’t be cleaned by vacuuming, replace the filter assembly.
For filter assembly replacement, please contact your CIMR® distributor.

2, or ION.
What to look for first
I have plugged in the CIMR® unit, pressed the ON button on the CIMR® 2000, and nothing
happens. What’s wrong?
• Make sure the power cord is inserted completely into the receptacle on the back of the
CIMR® unit.
• Make sure the electrical outlet is capable of providing power to the CIMR® unit.
If you are operating your central heating and air conditioning fan, or other ventilation system
continuously, set the coverage up to the total ventilated indoor area. Otherwise, set the coverage
up to the size of the room.
The UV lamp is not functioning/I am getting a “Replace Cell” message.
