Programming Standard Concentrations in Alaris

We are a small pediatric hospital in NY and having issues with programming standard concentrations with Alaris. I was wondering if someone is willing to help us out, please.

We are trying to program standard concentrations like gentamicin 4mg/mL and Cefepime 40mg/mL in Alaris but according to Alaris the only way to program these weight-based pediatric entries is to use __ __ blank entries with limits programmed in the background.

I was wondering if this is correct if there is any other way to program pediatric entries, and how is your team programming these pediatric concentrations into Alaris?
