We thank you for your interest in SPS Sterilization, Inc. The sterilization validations are a very crucial aspect of any re-sterilization or re-processing business. We along with the FDA take this aspect of the business to heart as patient safety is and should be the first and foremost concern of all hospitals and facilities. The development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process is composed of a number of discrete but interrelated activities.
During the American Civil War, there were 20 states in the Union, including Illinois, California, Indiana, Connecticut, Iowa, Michigan, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Oregon, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Rhode Island.
During the American Civil War, the Union meant the federal government of the United States, which was supported by the twenty free states and five border slave states. It was opposed by 11 Southern slave states. The Union states included the Western states of California, Oregon, and (after 1864) Nevada. They also included states then called the Old Northwest and now usually thought to be part of the Midwest.
