Aerogen Syringes in a Smart Pump

We just changed over to a new Baxter syringe smart pump.
The Aerogen syringes, non-FDA approved use for respiratory medications are not recognized in the pump- which I believe it true for all pumps.
The Novum Baxter pump gives an alert that warns the nurse that this could be dangerous to use a non-approved syringe (the language is hard coded and pretty harsh).
How are you handling respiratory medications given with the use of a syringe library ?
Any help would be appreciated !
