Chemotherapy Library in Smart Pumps

Another question regarding smart pumps:

Does anyone have a chemo drug library set up in their smart pumps? If so, how did you set it up?

We use Alaris pumps (obtained many years ago) and did not originally make a chemo library based on recommendations from the Alaris team. Rationale was that there are too many required concentrations of chemo drugs making building a library prohibitive. As the pumps have become more sophisticated, I am wondering what other institutions are doing in this high risk area.

If you have a chemo library, can you also tell me which pump you use? Thank you!
