THE AMOUNT OF LEAKAGE FOR THIS EVENT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. ALTHOUGH THE FLUID VOLUME OF AN ACCESS WASH BUFFER II BOTTLE IS THEORETICALLY SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO CAUSE A SLIPPING HAZARD IF IT IS SPILLED, THERE WERE NO REPORTS OF DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY OR MODIFICATION TO PATIENT TREATMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EVENT.
