Blood Factor Products

Hello,

I am wondering how other organizations prepare blood factor doses in the pharmacy if you have a iv workflow management system. Do you round the dose of blood factor vials (i.e Recombinate, Benefix) to a certain value? We currently do for KCentra only. Because the other factors have a variable range of units, we cannot use our IV workflow management system (we utilize DoseEdge) to prepare doses of blood factors and are looking for potential ways to do so.

Thank you in advance.
