CSTD - Closed system transfer devices: leaks?

Does anyone have experience with Carefusion Texium and Smart-site chemotherapy CSTD use? We are having issues with IV push of vesicants leaking at connection, and with trying to close the system for CADD pumps used at home. Would love some advice on potential causes or how to use the system more effectively, or a better system (with use experience!)
Thanks
Brenda
