Medication Pump LIbrary Owner

I wanted to see how other institutions, including health systems, structure the medication pump libraries. We currently have 4 different vendors for our large volume, syringe, epidural, and PCA pumps. Each pump has it's own subcommittee and chair that report to a larger multidisciplinary pump committee. Currently, the medication safety officer is the chair of the pump committee and in charge of all library maintenance, including upgrades.
I would love to hear how other institutions handle the pump libraries.
