Lipid filtering issue

For those institutions following the requirement to filter fat emulsion infusions with a 1.2 micron filter, have your nurses reported issues with the filters, especially after pausing the infusion to administer intermittent medications? Our nurses are getting downstream occlusion alarms on the pumps once the fat emulsion is started again. If you've experienced this, any suggestions on how to prevent this?

Thanks!
