Split Dose Doxorubicin Syringes

We have had some reports of wrong volume preparation for doxorubicin 2 mg/ml IVP syringes caught prior to patient administration. We utilize EPIC's split dose functionality, which includes both the total volume and package volume on the syringe label. Have others had similar reports of incorrect volume in each package? If this is not a problem with your institution, would you be willing to share an example of your split dose doxorubicin label to assist us in improving?
