CLEANING & STERILIZATION
The 678 SureTemp housings may be cleaned with a cloth dampened with

and Towelettes or MetriSpray™. Care should be taken not to scratch the LCD
faceplate. Low temperature Ethylene Oxide (ETO) sterilization of Oral or
Rectal probes is to be used only when absolutely necessary. The procedure for
ETO sterilization is described in the 678 SureTemp Technical Service Manual
