Partial Peritoneal Dialysis Bags

How do your institutions handle peritoneal dialysis patients who need a partial dialysate bag instilled? We recently had a patient who required 1200 mL per exchange but we only carry the 2000 mL bags (we do try to get changed to the full bag size whenever possible). Pharmacy has been draining off the extra in our compounding suite prior to sending up the bag. This doesn't come up often but can cause some confusion when it does. Thank you!
