ENFit - Smaller Lumens causing Clogging from Crushed Medications

For those that have converted to ENFit or are in the process, how have you addressed the clogging caused by crushing medications. ENFit has a smaller lumen so it is harder for crushed medications to pass through the tube.

Have you made changes to limit which medications you crush at your institutions? Have you had success with any pill crusher which prevents clogging?

Looking forward to hearing how you are handling this situation.

Thanks!
