[MCOH-EH] Oxycide (acetic acid/hydrogen peroxide) disinfectant

[Galaid Edward I]

Our infection control people are looking at this as an alternative to bleach.  Here's SDS:  http://www.mercedesmedical.com/customer/MEMESA/specpages/MDL-HUN6000005.pdf
It's an equilibrium state that generates peroxyacetic acid.   There have been some reports of mucus membrane irritation...and several years ago OSHA visited Univ of Pittsburgh Med Ctr because of a complaint.  They closed the investigation without any action.

My guess is that the issue involves fumes coming of when diluting the concentrated product down for use.   Poking around on the web, it looks like there is a dilution management system that the mfr offers.

Has anyone had any adverse experiences with it?
