Insulin Pens in Pneumatic Tube System

Hi,

Wanted to reach out to query other institution's practices with sending off insulin pens via Pneumatic Tube System.
1. Does your institution utilize insulin pens? If so which ones?
2. If your institution dispenses from pharmacy can insulin pens be tubed? If not tubed how are insulin pens delivered? ( i.e. ADS, pharmacy personal, nursing comes to pharmacy, etc.)
3. Does your institution utilize "Do not transport via pneumatic tube system" on insulin pen labeling?
4. Has there been any discussion around insulin pens being transported via a pneumatic tube system more than once?

Thanks in advance for your help!
