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.
The US Civil War took place in the states bordering the arbitrary division between the Northern (Union) states and the Southern (Confederate) states. The capitals of the respective combatants, Washington DC and Richmond, VA, were only 96 miles (154 km) apart, but were defended when attacked.hese included Antietam in Maryland (September, 1862) and Gettysburg, PA (July, 1863). By the war's end, most of the Southern states had been attacked and overrun by Union armies, notably those of Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman.
