Xellia vancomycin Safety Measures

Just curious if anyone is utilizing Xellia vancomycin RTU bags in their hospitals. If so, what strategies do you have in place to ensure that pregnant women are not receiving this product (e.g., orders only allowed for male patients, require negative pregnancy test in women of child-bearing age prior to dispensing, do not stock in ADCs, EHR warnings, etc.)?

Thanks in advance,
Amanda
