Medication Syringe Expiration Time -Procedural areas

What expiration time does staff put on medication syringes that may be drawn up in a procedural area? This does not include compounded syringes--this is for single drug in syringe drawn up in prep for a procedure. Our policy states expiration date and time must be on the label if medication is not immediately administered. Thanks, Mary
