Concentrated 23.4% Sodium Chloride Administration

What does your facility do in terms of risk mitigation for 23.4% concentrated sodium chloride? Currently pharmacy draws up and puts into an empty ViaFlex and sends up a high alert double check form with it. A new PA mentioned other facilities administered it IVP (rather than via an IVPB) and having a special 'box' in the ICU Pyxis containing the medication so I wanted to see what other facilities do. Thank you!
