NaCl 3% Bolus Alaris Pump Library

I was wondering what library in the Alaris pump 3% NaCl is under for other institutions. We discovered our nurses are using "basic infusion" or "IV fluid bolus" entries to bolus 3% saline. Currently our 3% bolus options entry is built in "Drug" library and not the "fluid". As a high alert medication was wondering what other institutions do to ensure it is run on the pump appropriately. When the nurses choose "basic" or "IV fluid bolus" it bypasses the double check in place on the pump built for 3% NaCl.
