Impella Heparin Labeling

Good morning, we are exploring options for distinguishing non-standard heparin concentrations for impella devices. We already term the products accordingly in our EMR (Epic) as "purge solutions" as well as identify a unique route of administration, but the request from our medication safety committee was to additional distinguishing factors such as auxiliary labeling. Requesting for the group any further ideas or processes used for these heparin solutions.
