Pump library for NICU IV/UAC Fluids

Our hospital currently implements Epic pump integration with our smart pump, when reviewing NICU CCA, our nurse currently is running any NICU fluids under "IVF plain" or "IVF additive" in the pump, for example, 1/2 sodium acetate with heparin, D5W, D10W...this has caused MAR device not scanned warning on Epic and NICU RN needs to manual entry and set up the pump.

Does your organization have all NICU fluids added to the pump drug library?
