standardizing OnQ pump meds/concentrations

Has anyone been successful in standardizing to 1 size/drug/concentration for their OnQ pumps? We currently stock several different size pumps, and MDs order a myriad of concentrations of bupivacaine and ropivacaine. I would love to stock 1, maybe 2, sizes of pumps in just 1 concentration (0.2% ropivacaine) for anesthesiologists and surgeons to use. Any guidance is appreciated.
