baclofen intrathecal

Hi everyone, wondering if there are any facilities out there who have built baclofen, intended for intrathecal administration, in there IV pump library? My health system currently has a request for it, very rare for use in baclofen weaning or due to implantable pump misadventures. My concern currently is that our pump vendor does not have the IT route as an FDA approved use of their pumps. If there are any sites that have implemented this build what additional strategies did you utilize (ie-Clinicla advisories on the pump, etc.). Thank you in advance for any responses.
