Removing overwrap from IV premix bags

Hello,

Wondering what policy you have in place for removing overwraps from IV premix products? We had certain dating in place based on the size of the bag, but are running into different products now stating "use promptly" once removed from the overwrap. We are instituting a policy of not removing any overwraps so that we can try and cut down on the multiple dating schemes we have.
