Inhaler BUD

Is anyone putting a BUD on inhalers? If so, how do you operationalize this process? Practically speaking, an inhaler used in a hospital setting is going to be finished long before the BUD, however, a recent JC consultant asked a nurse at our facility what the BUD was on the inhaler. The consultant said when inhalers are removed from the packaging and foil wrap, they need to have BUD expiration sticker. The inhalers have different BUD, for example albuterol is 12 months and Symbicort is 3 months. Any help is appreciated.
