Alteplase shortage

Hi everyone -

We are planning for some changes in administration of alteplase given a shortage of 100mg vials. The manufacturer recommendations note to place into an empty bag but that is not a typical bedside process for us. Has anyone investigated other options? Or have plans for safeguards for the bedside transfer to bag?

Thanks
