concentrated PCAs

For those using the Alaris IV pump:
-What strategies do you use to ensure accurate PCA pump programming, especially when it comes to concentrated infusions?
-Do you have level of care restrictions for concentrated PCAs?
-Do you use capnography for concentrated PCAs?
-Anything unique or special with the independent clinician verification for concentrated PCAs?

Appreciate your insight,
