Pharmacy preparation of Exparel

Hello All,
For those Pharmacy Departments preparing Exparel plus bupivicaine, is the mixture prepared in a bag or syringe? How does the surgical team decant onto the sterile field? Does the team use a basin or some other device?
Pharmacy and Infection Control like a syringe to syringe transfer device however the operating room nurses do not.
Thank you in advance.
Maria
