Levothyroxine Solution IV -Stability in IV Syringes

Our hospital would like to begin using Fresenius Kabi's concentration based Levothyroxine IV solution product (20 mCG/mL, 5 mL),but we are having a hard time figuring out stability of patient specific syringe pulled in IV room in ISO 5.

Manufacturer does not give ANY stability information for when the dose is drawn up in a patient specific IV syringe(BD/Monoject). Anyone has any experience, with dispensing the product, that they can share?
Thank you.
