Sensors can be damaged by contact with H2O2.

10.4. Cable
Organic solvents must not be used for cleaning purposes. Avoid the use of cleaning sprays, spray
disinfectants, or strong detergents, as they could damage the cables.
The cables can be wiped clean with a clean soft lint-free cloth, which can, if required, be moistened
with water or a pH-neutral detergent. Detergent residues should then be wiped off.
The cables can be decontaminated with H2O2 vapor
before they are brought into the test laboratory.
