Pediatric Hydroxocobalamin (Cyanokit) Prep/Administration

Does anyone have a process in place for preparation and administration of Cyanokit for pediatrics? We have reached out to the manufacturer, and they do not have any suggestions and have only studied administration using their tubing for adults. We are trying to determine if we should prepare it in the pharmacy vs. keep in the Omnicell for nurses to prep. (If it wasn't so time-sensitive we would certainly suggest pharmacy prep). Is anyone using Alaris to administer this drug?
