My understanding, after a lot of internet research this afternoon, is as follows:
A 10 ml bottle contains 1000 units
There are 100 units in a mL1 cc equals 100 units, so to figure how long a 10mL bottle, (1000 units) will last, you divide the number of units you use per day into 1000, and there you have it.Actually it depends on the concentration of the bag of solution you have. Yes if you have a 10 mL bottle with 1000 units of Heparin then you would have 100 units per mL. But each bottle/bag is different. You may have a bag that has 1000mLs of fluid and contain 30,000 units of heparin. In which case your units per mL would be 30. The formula is to take your amount of Heparin and divide it by the amount of fluid in mLs you have. This will give you the amount of units per mL.units/mls= units per mL
