Baxter Sabratek 6060
Baxter International · Model Sabratek 6060
Baxter has ended service on this product. Please see one of the available 3rd party companies for service and/or sales. The Baxter Sabratek 6060 is an ambulatory multi-therapy device that can be used for enteral, epidural, subcutaneous, arterial, and intravenous.
Key tips
- ·Free-flow protection must be verified on every PM - a failed anti-free-flow clamp is a direct overdose risk.
- ·Test occlusion alarms in both directions - failing to alarm when it should is more dangerous than a false alarm.
- ·Battery run-time complaints are the most common real-world nuisance call - a full charge/discharge cycle test catches most of them.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Occlusion / downstream blockage
HighSymptoms: Occlusion alarm, no flow, upstream pressure high.
Root cause: Kinked set, clamped line, patient vein issue.
Air-in-line detection
MediumSymptoms: Air-in-line alarm, infusion paused.
Root cause: Air in set, improperly primed tubing.
Free-flow (failure of anti-free-flow)
HighSymptoms: Uncontrolled flow when door open.
Root cause: Worn roller or failed free-flow valve.
Motor / drive failure
MediumSymptoms: Stalled infusion, inaccurate rate.
Root cause: Peristaltic motor or encoder wear.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Occlusion pressure and flow-rate accuracy verification
- ·Battery conditioning cycle
- ·Door latch and air-in-line sensor inspection
- ·Post-drop functional check before return to service
- ·Annual PM per manufacturer schedule
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Occlusion / downstream blockage
- Confirm the presentation - typically occlusion alarm, no flow, upstream pressure high - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: kinked set, clamped line, patient vein issue.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the iV administration set per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.

- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the peristaltic roller / pump mechanism per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.

Documents & Manuals
Safety & Recalls
Synced live from the FDA openFDA API.
- RECALL
Failures within the PCA profile as well as incidents resulting in interruptions of therapy in various profiles.
- RECALL
Possible shorting of some printed circuit boards could result in a possible interruption of therapy or cause the pump to fail the Power-On Self Test.
- RECALL
The inlet and outlet lines of the administration set may be reversed, which would result in reverse flow.
- RECALL
A missing platen assembly in the cassette of the solution sets results in the infusion pump being unable to occlude the tubing of the set. This can lead to free-flow of the solution and a possible overdose of medication to the patient.
- RECALL
The pump may free-flow if the door to the 6060 pump is not closed prior to loading the pump in to the lock box. The pump will alarm 'Door Open', but if the pump is turned off to silence the alarm while remaining in the lock box, the fluid will free-flow.
