Intrathecal Administration

Our acute care leadership has been reviewing current policies around our intrathecal injection for methotrexate. We were wondering if other sites are using filters since all components used to compound would be sterile and it would be compounded in a clean room suite. Additionally, has anyone used CSTDs for intrathecal administration or preparation of methotrexate? We haven't found any clear guidance or data on CSTD use for IT administration.

Thanks!
