preparation of Neb Hypertonic saline from IV product

Dear Medication Safety Officers,
In preparing Hypertonic saline 3% as nebulization from the IV product, does it need to be prepared in sterile area as IV preparation?
If Yes, can oral syringes be used instead of IV Luer Lock Syringes that is potential to cause harm if given IV by mistake

Iam curious to know your practice around
