Heplock flush ordering design

Greetings:

Due to COVID19 nephrology has requested using 5000units/ml heparin for a heploack flush. Because at the time the catheters varied and thus the amount of volume to be used to flush the catheter varies - we have been asked by providers to allow them to order by ml - does anyone have a guidance on the best practice for ordering a heplock flush
