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?

If you exclude CS infusions in this specific setting from being held in a lock box, what type of process/documentation do you follow for compliance/regulatory coverage?

Thanks for your help!
