Registered nurse starting iv on patient who is here this morning for scheduled cesarean section.Iv placed on right arm without difficulty, used bd max guard pressure rated extension set with needleless y site.Once connected to iv line, blood dripping out of the connection port where extension set connects to regular iv tubing.Nurse double checked connection making sure it was tightened completely and continued to leak.Care was paused to replace the maxguard extension set, and currently appears to be functioning without leaks.Lot # 22099253 with expiration date 2025-09-13 we have had 2 other issues with this same lot number of these bd maxguard extension sets.The manufacturers have reached out to me and asked for the specific malfunctioning sites, but the nurse didn't collect it.The other events were regarding these extension sets not flowing properly, but they didn't leak.
