Time to auto-sign off in Anesthesia work stations

For those of you who use Pyxis or Omnicell in the OR for your anesthesia workflow, what is your time to automated sign off of the machine? There is a concern that needing to sign back in frequently during a case will create delays that could cause harm. The time out for the BioID to remove a controlled substance is usually set much shorter (15 - 45 seconds), where the time to complete sign off has ranged from 15 min - > 4 hours in our area hospitals. We are looking to see what other institutions do.

Thank you!
