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.
