The sterilization tray comprises a basin and a platter including a depression and a port disposed through a terminal end of the depression. The basin and the platter define a chamber and the port defines a passage into the chamber. An adapter may be connected to the port to facilitate connection of an endoscope thereto. The tray and the endoscope may be disposed in a vacuum chamber of a sterilizer and subject to a sterilization cycle. A pressure differential may be created between the vacuum chamber and the first chamber. A sterilant may be drawn through the insertion tube and into the first chamber. The sterilant may also be drawn through the insertion tube and into the vacuum chamber.3/5 (0 0 -- -- - -- -- - --0 CD co *0 0 0 L * 0 0 0 0 0 o0 0 0C 0 00 0 0 * 0 Y * 00 0 00 * 00CY 0 0 0 0Q 0 6* 0 Se 0----I~g oo 0 1I 0 1 0 NO *Y 0 N ( SY *Y) - - --g- - - - - - - - -
