Event or Problem Description

It was reported that at least three bd nexiva 22 ga x 1.75 in single port leaking just before it connects to the tubing.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: we have noticed several of our 22-gauge bd nexiva iv catheters leaking just before it connects to the tubing.It is leaking from the iv catheter, even before we connect it to anything.It happens with multiple nurses, so i can¿t say it¿s a nurse not doing something correctly.If we are only infusing saline, we can just put a towel underneath the area and infuse, but there is no way we would infuse chemo through a leaking catheter, so we have to restick the patient.We notice the leak as soon as it we place it and flush it.When i followed with customer they think they have seen this happen 4-5 time in last 3-4 weeks.
