USP800 - SUBQ/IM/IT Routes

Wondering how others dispense chemotherapy with a SUBQ/IM/IT route in regards to CSTD. I am taking over from another team member who is no longer with our organization and a couple of years ago it was decided to dispense the syringe with the PhaSeal Optima injector still attached and then that is removed and the needle attached immediately prior to administration. I am now getting questions from nursing on this and I don't know why that decision was made a couple years ago in the first places so just curious as what other institutions do. Thanks!
