3% Saline in ED

Hello All,
For those of you who have placed 3% saline your ED ADCs, what mechanisms or safety strategies did you put into place to prevent confusion?
We have a request to add from our Trauma team specifically to the trauma Pyxis machine but I am apprehensive since it is a concentrated electrolyte in a nonprofiled area.
Thanks so much for your help.
Cicely Williams, PharmD
