Air transport carrier: friction device restriction, smart pumps

Our air transport carrier, Air Methods, has restricted the use of any friction device to secure a piece of equipment. This includes our standard smart pump, BD Alaris, because it only has tightened twist clamps. Is any system running into this and can advise on how you are responding? I pause at adding another smart pump to our landscape, but that is currently what is being suggested.
