Anesthetic gas storage in the OR

Do you allow storage of anesthetic gas (e.g., sevoflurane) within an ADC in the OR. If you allow storage in an ADC, how do you handle partially used bottles?

Do you allow anesthesia to return partially used containers into the ADC? If returned to ADC, are you considering them as multi-dose containers?

Thanks!
