Thanks! There is also this apparently very informative ongoing
online discussion I just found:

That is an incredible wealth of information! A lot of it reliable
too, since the vendor is represented there by their marketing manager
Katie Bolek.
One thing I found interesting on the list was the hesitancy on Katie
Bolek's part to thoroughly discuss hydrogen peroxide. I know at one
time peroxide was a big issue and thought to be one of the most
distinguishing ingredients in MIOX - especially in the early minutes
of decontamination. In the early days the decontamination chemistry
was definitely a bit of a mystery, but the EPA testing only required
the biological effectiveness and chlorine residuals info. I don't
know how well they have it all nailed down these days. Maybe some of
the more important chemistry approaches, i.e. MIOX (or similar)
generation methods, which are available can't be patented. The rep I
met said the company spent a lot of time and money on the chemistry
and had a lot more to do.
