HMS Hepline kit
Hi!
For those still using the HMS Plus "HEPline kit", can someone explain how to correlate the U/mL on the supplied tube to the Heparin Concentration in mg/kg that is resulted by the HMS?
If the 1 U/mL was filled to the 5mL line with healthy donor blood and produced a result of 0.6 mg/kg, how do I know if that is acceptable?
Thank you for any help!

Said: Deidre, was the heparin changed by pharmacy only after the problem with subtherapeutic values was observed?
