Draw Down Bag Method for Lipids

Greetings.

Does anyone have experience with "draw down bag" method - for example, if patient's dose of IL is 56mLs. Instead of drawing into syringe 56 mls, you remove 44mls from premade bag and send the bag to the floor for administration.

We are entertaining this idea, since our NICU specialist believes that it can help to decrease possible contamination of lipids?

Thank you,
