Google search indicates that this is a quite nasty process.
At least one NHS has opted for substitution.

Last time I made this was with Glacial acetic acid and 100% Hydrogen peroxide. Believe me it was done in a Blockhouse as it tended to erupt explosively"""""!!!!!!
Your concentration is well below 100% however and you are not going to have that sort of problem. It is an extremely powerful oxidising agent hence it's excellent biocidal properties. Because it is easily broken down in the environment it is often preferred for these reasons. MSN search produces a number of hits for colonoscope cleaning along with other similar duties. The manufacturers supply ample guidance material for this. The use of trained staff is however a must. I have even seen it recommended for home brewing use however.
