Filtering IVIG in pharmacy prior to dispensing

Is anyone filtering IVIG doses that the pharmacy is drawing up and pooling into bags? We had an issue in the past with the silicone oil in syringes used to transfer the product to bags, creating particles. We started the practice of filtering when preparing and on administration but this is time consuming and we are curious what others are doing.

Thank you,
