Controlled Substance Integrity in Imaging/MRI

Curious if any organization has troubleshooted the process for controlled substance infusion integrity when in MRI?
Our policy is to ensure all CS infusions are maintained inside lock boxes with key access held in our Pyxis/ADC machines. These lock boxes are not MR conditional and have created a barrier/delay when attempting scanning patients with CS infusions.

Do your organizations utilize MR conditional lock boxes or something similar? If yes, would you mind sharing the product?

Delivery of sedation meds

My institution currently use the Alaris PCA module to deliver medications for sedation because the module allows for the syringe go be locked for security. We have a limited number of these PCA modules and are in the process of coming up with a contingency plan. How does your institution maintain security of CS medication containers during intravenous infusion?
