Dispensing Pins

Question for the group: does your organization use dispensing pins during sterile compounding? If so, here are my questions:

1. What type of products do you use them for (MDVs, SDVs during drug shortage when you are trying to batch or alliquot, etc..)?2. what is your policy for length of use/expirations dating when using one with a MDV (do you keep pin in vial and give 28 day or do you only utilize for one compounding session, 24 horus, etc..)?
3. Does policy on expiration dating change if you keep the vial in the hood?

Thanks!
Shawn
