Heparin Potency Issues

We have been having increased reports from our cardiothoracic team with concerns about the potency of heparin we are using. I know this has come up before, but I am wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this or have done any potency testing? The manufacturers we have been getting concerns about are Hospira and Fresenius Kabi, 10,000 units/10L vials. Thanks
