     The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read
in conjunction with, the more detailed information and financial data, including
the Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, all information contained in this
Prospectus (i) assumes that the Underwriters' over-allotment option is not
exercised, (ii) assumes the exercise of outstanding options and warrants to
purchase 191,799 shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders and receipt
by the Company of $935,522 in proceeds in connection therewith and (iii) has
been adjusted to give effect to a 1-for-3.173 reverse stock split which was
effected by the Company in connection with its initial public offering of
2,875,000 shares of Common Stock in June, 1996. See "Underwriting" and "Selling
Stockholders." This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Federal securities laws. Actual results and the timing
of certain events could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth
under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
    
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
     Sabratek Corporation (the "Company" or "Sabratek") develops, produces and
markets technologically-advanced, user-friendly and cost-effective therapeutic
and diagnostic medical systems designed specifically to meet the unique needs of
the alternate-site health care market. The Company's multi-therapy infusion and
other systems incorporate advanced communications technology which is designed
to reduce provider operating costs while maintaining the integrity and quality
of care. Sabratek's proprietary health care information system provides remote
programming as well as real-time diagnostic and therapeutic data capture
capabilities, allowing caregivers to monitor patient compliance more effectively
and allowing providers to develop outcome analyses and optimal clinical
protocols. The Company has designed its integrated hardware and software system
to permit providers of infusion therapy to achieve cost-effective movement of
patients along the continuum of alternate-site health care settings. The Company
intends to expand its product line beyond infusion therapy to become a leading
developer and marketer of a variety of interactive therapeutic and diagnostic
medical systems for the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective health care in
alternate sites. The Company believes that its current and future products and
related software will facilitate the ability of alternate-site providers to
create a "virtual" hospital room, thereby affording the delivery of a wide range
of care previously provided primarily in an acute-care setting. Substantially
all of the Company's revenues have historically been derived from the sale of
its multi-therapy infusion pumps and related disposable supplies. Since August,
1996, the Company has commercially introduced several additional products which
it believes will contribute to future revenues.
 
     Sabratek's strategy focuses primarily on the alternate-site health care
market, which it believes will continue to experience significant growth as
managed care payors continue to move patients to the lowest-cost care setting.
Such growth may be attributed to increasing cost-containment pressures, along
with advances in medical technology, that have transitioned the delivery of
health care away from the traditional acute-care setting to more cost-effective
sites. The alternate-site market includes, among other things, the provision of
infusion services rendered in various settings, including the patient's
residence, sub-acute care facilities, nursing homes, outpatient clinics,
dialysis centers and hospice facilities. According to POV, Incorporated, an
industry tracking and consulting firm, the infusion therapy segment of this
market is expected to grow in revenue from $3.2 billion in 1992 to $7.9 billion
in 1997, representing an average annual compounded growth rate of approximately
20%.
 
     The Company believes that for alternate-site health care providers, the
management of costly resources such as nursing staff and infusion equipment
inventories is critical to their operating viability. The Company's strategic
response to the need to achieve cost-effective movement of patients along the
continuum of alternate-site care has been to develop the SEAMLESS DELIVERY
SYSTEM which integrates stationary and ambulatory multi-therapy infusion pumps,
disposable supplies, a proprietary interactive software system and a proprietary
infusion pump testing device. Sabratek's SEAMLESS DELIVERY SYSTEM maximizes the
similarities in operating features and range of therapeutic applications of the
Company's stationary and ambulatory infusion
                                        3

devices, thereby reducing the costly time requirements of training and infusion
administration as well as minimizing equipment inventories. The Company's
interactive software system augments the utilization of Sabratek's infusion
pumps and allows providers to program therapies and monitor compliance on a
real-time basis from a remote location. The Company's portable, automatic
infusion pump testing device enables providers to perform on-site diagnostic
tests on Sabratek's infusion pumps and thereby reduces costs by eliminating the
traditional reliance on third-party testing services and in-house biomedical
engineering capabilities. The Company believes that competing infusion therapy
products do not meet the diverse needs of payors, alternate-site health care
providers and their patients within the managed care environment to the same
extent as the Company's SEAMLESS DELIVERY SYSTEM.
 
     In 1992, the Company commercially launched its multi-therapy stationary
infusion device (the "3030 Stationary Pump"), and in 1995 introduced its
multi-therapy ambulatory infusion device (the "6060 Ambulatory Pump"). In
addition, the Company markets a comprehensive line of related disposable tubing
sets. Both the 3030 Stationary Pump and the 6060 Ambulatory Pump have received
510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"). In 1996, the
Company began marketing its proprietary medical software system ("MediVIEW") and
its proprietary infusion pump testing device (the "PumpMaster"). The Company
currently markets its products domestically to national, regional and local
alternate-site and acute-care providers through a sales force composed of 17
direct sales professionals, six clinical support staff and two full-time sales
consultants combined with a network of specialized alternate-site medical
products distributors. The Company also markets its products internationally
through distributors in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East.
 
     The Company's goal is to continue to develop and market interactive
therapeutic and diagnostic medical systems designed to improve the delivery of
high-quality, cost-effective health care at alternate sites. The Company intends
to achieve its goal by continuing to: (i) develop advanced medical products and
related software systems that maximize the cost-effective provision of
alternate-site health care, (ii) develop an integrated system of therapeutic and
diagnostic information-based medical products supported by the Company's
proprietary health care information system platform, and (iii) create a
proprietary outcomes database through the Company's products and software system
platform.
 
                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
     On February 25, 1997, Sabratek acquired substantially all the assets of
Rocap, Inc. ("Rocap") for $100,000 in cash, 131,593 shares of Sabratek Common
Stock (valued at approximately $2.9 million), plus the assumption of net
liabilities of approximately $661,000 and the forgiveness of a bridge loan. In
connection with the acquisition, the former President of Rocap entered into a
three-year employment agreement with Sabratek.
 
   
     Rocap produces and markets prepackaged injectable prescription
pharmaceuticals (intravenous or "I.V." Admixture products) and pre-filled I.V.
tubing flush syringes for the alternate-site and acute-care markets. The Company
believes the addition of the Rocap product line expands the scope of the
Company's I.V. delivery systems, products, and services, thereby enhancing the
Company's competitive position.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Federal securities laws. Actual results and the timing of certain
events could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth below and
elsewhere in this Prospectus. In addition to the other information contained in
this Prospectus, prospective investors should carefully consider the risk
factors set forth below in evaluating an investment in the shares of Common
Stock offered hereby.
 
HISTORY OF LOSSES
 
     The Company was formed in 1989, introduced its first product in 1992, and
has incurred operating and net losses since its inception through September 30,
1996. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $3.6 million, $6.0
million, and $858,000 for the years 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and as of
December 31, 1996, had an accumulated deficit of $14.3 million. The Company's
losses resulted primarily from expenditures relating to research and
development, product engineering, obtaining FDA clearance for its products,
development of its initial sales and marketing organization, and establishment
of manufacturing capability. Although the Company has experienced revenue growth
in recent periods and has operated at a profit for the last two calendar
quarters, such recent growth and profitability may not be sustainable and may
not be indicative of future results. The Company's ability to increase sales and
generate profits will depend on numerous factors, and there can be no assurance
that the Company's revenues will continue to grow or that the Company will
remain profitable. See "Selected Financial Data" and "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
 
DEPENDENCE ON PRINCIPAL PRODUCT LINE AND NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
 
     The Company currently derives substantially all of its revenues from the
sale of its multi-therapy infusion pumps and related disposable supplies and
expects that revenues from these products will continue to account for a
significant portion of the Company's revenues in the future. Although the
commercial introduction of MediVIEW and PumpMaster along with the recent
acquisition of Rocap reduce the Company's reliance on its principal product
line, declines in the demand for the Company's infusion pumps and related
disposable supplies, whether due to increased competition, technological
changes, or other factors, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company's execution
of its business strategy and its future financial performance will depend in
large part on the Company's ability to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs
of its customers through the timely development and successful introduction or
acquisition of new infusion therapy products, enhanced versions of existing
products, and new complementary products. The success of new or enhanced
products is subject to certain risks inherent in the development of products and
materials based upon new technologies. These risks include the possibilities
that (i) certain of the products developed may require and fail to receive
regulatory clearance or approval, (ii) the products may be difficult to
manufacture on a commercial scale or may be uneconomical to manufacture or
market, (iii) the proprietary rights of third parties may preclude the Company
from marketing such products, (iv) the Company's competitors may market
superior, more cost-effective or equivalent products and may do so on a more
timely basis, (v) errors and malfunctions may be found in products after their
commercial introduction and may not be corrected in a timely manner, and (vi)
customers may not accept or use the products. The Company has historically
expended a significant amount on product development and believes that
significant continuing product development efforts will be required to sustain
the Company's growth. There can be no assurance that the market will continue to
accept the Company's existing products, or that product enhancements or new
products will be developed in a timely and cost-effective manner, meet the needs
and requirements of alternate-site health care providers or achieve market
acceptance. In addition, the Company may be unable to acquire additional
products and technologies. See "Business -- Products," "-- Sales and Marketing"
and "-- Competition."

<PAGE>   12
 
HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKETS; TECHNOLOGICAL RISK
 
     The medical products industry in general and the infusion therapy products
industry in particular are characterized by intense competition. Large
competitors, such as Abbott Laboratories, Advanced Medical, Inc., Baxter
International Inc. and SIMS Deltec, Inc., a subsidiary of Smiths Industries, PLC
("SIMS Deltec"), among others, have significant market shares and installed
bases of products in the infusion pump and related disposable supplies industry.
Many of the Company's competitors have substantially greater capital resources,
research and development staffs, regulatory experience, sales and marketing
capabilities, manufacturing facilities and broader product offerings than the
Company. The Company expects that these competitors will continue to compete
aggressively with tactics such as offering volume discounts based on "bundled"
purchases of a broader range of medical equipment and supplies, a tactic that
the Company can currently only pursue on a more limited basis. There can be no
assurance that such competition will not adversely affect the Company's results
of operations or its ability to maintain or increase sales and market share. As
a consequence of the foregoing, the Company may not be able to successfully
execute its business strategies.
 
     The market for infusion therapy products is affected by continuing
improvements and enhancements in technology. There can be no assurance that the
Company's competitors or potential competitors will not succeed in developing or
marketing products that provide more desirable characteristics, or are more
effective or less expensive than those developed or marketed by the Company. In
addition, technological advances in drug delivery systems, the development of
therapies that can be administered by methods other than infusion therapy, and
the development of new medical treatments that cure certain complex diseases or
reduce the need for infusion therapy could adversely impact the Company's
business. See "Business -- Research and Development" and "-- Competition."
 
UNCERTAIN PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 
     There can be no assurance that the common law, statutory and contractual
rights on which the Company relies to protect its intellectual property and
confidential and proprietary information will provide it with meaningful
protection. Third parties may independently develop products, techniques or
information which are substantially equivalent to the products, techniques and
information which the Company considers proprietary. In addition, proprietary
information regarding the Company could be disclosed in a manner against which
the Company has no meaningful remedy.
 
     Disputes regarding the Company's intellectual property could force the
Company into expensive and protracted litigation or costly agreements with third
parties. An adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or
failure to reach an agreement with a third party regarding intellectual property
rights could prevent the Company from manufacturing and selling certain of its
products, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
 
PENDING LITIGATION
 
     On February 5, 1997, SIMS Deltec filed a complaint (the "Complaint") in the
United States District Court for the District of Minnesota alleging that
Sabratek's manufacture, use and/or sale of the MediVIEW software in conjunction
with its infusion pumps infringes on a patent entitled "Systems and Methods for
Communicating with Ambulatory Medical Devices Such as Drug Delivery Devices"
previously issued to SIMS Deltec. The Complaint seeks injunctive relief,
unspecified monetary damages and costs. The Company has not yet formally
responded to the Complaint but intends to vigorously defend against the
allegations contained in the Complaint. Protracted litigation or an adverse
outcome in this matter could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
LIMITED SALES AND MARKETING EXPERIENCE
 
     The Company has only begun to significantly expand its sales, marketing and
distribution force within the past year. The Company's sales and marketing staff
will require additional personnel in the future. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to continue to successfully expand its sales and
marketing staff,
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   13
 
that such an expanded sales and marketing staff will be cost-effective, or that
the Company's increased direct sales and marketing efforts will be successful.
The Company also sells its products through domestic and international
distributors of medical products. There can be no assurance that the Company or
its distributors will be successful in marketing or selling the Company's
products. See "Business -- Sales and Marketing."
 
BROAD DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO ALLOCATION OF NET PROCEEDS
 
     The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for working
capital and general corporate purposes, including: expanding manufacturing
capacity; funding further product development efforts; and expanding sales and
marketing activities. In addition, proceeds may be used for future joint
ventures or acquisitions of technologies, products or companies complementary to
the Company's business. The Company has not yet identified the specific uses for
such net proceeds and will, therefore, retain broad discretion as to their
allocation. Pending such uses, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds in
short-term interest-bearing, investment-grade securities. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PAST AND FUTURE ACQUISITIONS
 
     In February, 1997, the Company acquired Rocap. Although the Company has no
pending agreements or commitments, the Company may make additional acquisitions
of complementary businesses, products or technologies in the future.
Acquisitions of companies, divisions of companies, or products entail numerous
risks, including (i) the potential inability to successfully integrate acquired
operations and products or to realize anticipated synergies, economies of scale
or other value, (ii) diversion of management's attention, and (iii) loss of key
employees of acquired operations. No assurance can be given that the Company
will not incur problems in integrating the Rocap operations or any future
acquisition and there can be no assurance that the acquisition of Rocap or any
future acquisition will increase the Company's profitability. Furthermore, there
can be no assurance that the Company will realize value from any such
acquisition which equals or exceeds the consideration paid. Any such problems
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. In addition, future acquisitions by the
Company may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of
additional debt, large one-time write-offs and the creation of goodwill or other
intangible assets that could result in amortization expense. These factors could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. See "Certain Transactions."
 
LIMITED ASSEMBLY/MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE
 
     Most of the Company's products are currently assembled/manufactured by the
Company at its facilities. To be successful, the Company must
assemble/manufacture its products in compliance with regulatory requirements, in
sufficient quantities and on a timely basis, while maintaining product quality
and acceptable assembly/manufacturing costs. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to continue to assemble/manufacture products in large
commercial quantities on a timely basis and at an acceptable cost. If the
Company becomes unable to assemble/manufacture its products at its facility in a
timely and efficient manner, the Company's ability to supply product to its
distributors and direct customers may be adversely affected until such time as
the Company is able to establish alternative assembly/manufacture arrangements.
See "Business -- Assembly and Manufacturing."
 
INTERRUPTION IN SOURCES OF SUPPLY
 
     The Company could face problems in supplying its equipment and disposable
products to distributors and customers if its primary sources of supply were
interrupted and it faced delays in activating its secondary sources of supply.
Any such interruption or delays could have an adverse effect on the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain a sufficient
and adequate supply of products in its own inventory or that the Company will be
able to cause its distributors to maintain a sufficient and adequate supply of
products to avoid such a disruption. See "Business -- Assembly and
Manufacturing."
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   14
 
DEPENDENCE ON THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT
 
     The Company's products are generally purchased by health care providers,
which then seek reimbursement from various public and private third-party
payors, such as Medicare, Medicaid and indemnity insurers, for health care
services provided to patients. Government and private third-party payors are
increasingly attempting to contain health care costs by limiting both the extent
of coverage and the reimbursement rate for new diagnostic and therapeutic
products and services. The Health Care Financing Administration of the United
States Department of Health and Human Services ("HCFA"), which administers
Medicare, and most private insurance companies do not provide reimbursement for
services that they determine to be experimental in nature or that are not
considered "reasonable and necessary" for diagnosis or treatment. Many private
insurers are influenced by HCFA actions in making their own coverage decisions
on new products or services. There can be no assurance that third-party
reimbursement for the services provided using the Company's products will
continue to be available to its customers or that any such reimbursement will be
adequate. Disapproval of, or limitations in, coverage by HCFA or other
third-party payors could materially and adversely affect market acceptance of
the Company's products which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Business -- Reimbursement."
 
NO ASSURANCE OF REGULATORY CLEARANCE; STRICT GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
 
     The production and marketing of the Company's current products and the
products the Company intends to introduce in the future are subject to
regulations by numerous governmental authorities, including the FDA and
corresponding state and foreign agencies. In the United States, the development,
manufacture and promotion of medical devices are regulated by the FDA under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the "FFDCA"). The Company's 3030
Stationary Pump and 6060 Ambulatory Pump, and the related disposable tubing sets
for use with these systems, have been cleared by the FDA under a premarket
notification procedure known as a "510(k) Submission," which generally takes
less time to complete, and requires less information, than the FDA's lengthy and
expensive premarket approval ("PMA") process.
 
     The Company's Rocap division is registered with the FDA as a drug
manufacturer and repackager and its products are required to be manufactured
according to current good manufacturing practices. Some of the products
manufactured by the Rocap division have been listed with the FDA in accordance
with the Drug Listing Act of 1972. Some of the products manufactured by the
Rocap division contain drugs which are purchased from other manufacturers which
have received FDA approvals. There can be no assurance that the suppliers of
such drugs will be able to maintain such approvals. While Rocap currently
manufactures and distributes its products without any FDA approvals, there can
be no assurance that the FDA will allow the Rocap division to manufacture and
distribute new or altered products without obtaining FDA approvals. If in the
future the FDA concludes that the products manufactured and distributed by the
Company's Rocap division require that the products be relabeled, require Rocap
to obtain 510(k) clearance, require new drug approval, or other regulatory
approval, the FDA could prohibit the Rocap division from manufacturing and/or
distributing these products until the Company made the necessary submissions and
obtained any required approvals. The FDA could also take regulatory action
against the Company for the Rocap division's manufacture and/or distribution of
products. If the FDA were to take any of the foregoing actions with respect to
the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operations.
 
     The Company believes that the original 510(k) clearance for the 6060
Ambulatory Pump permits the Company to market the MediVIEW software with the
6060 Ambulatory Pump in the United States without a new 510(k) Submission.
However, there can be no assurance that the FDA would agree with the Company's
determination. If in the future the FDA concludes that the MediVIEW software
system for use with the 6060 Ambulatory Pump required a new 510(k) Submission,
the FDA could prohibit the Company from marketing the MediVIEW software system
for this use until the Company filed a new 510(k) Submission and obtained
clearance from the FDA. The FDA could also take regulatory action against the
Company for its prior distribution of the MediVIEW software system with the 6060
Ambulatory Pump.
 
     The Company has determined that the PumpMaster does not constitute a device
under the statutory definition and, therefore, did not file a 510(k) Submission
with respect to this product. There can be no assurance that the FDA will agree
with the Company's determination in this regard. If the FDA were to
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   15
 
determine that the PumpMaster is a medical device that requires a 510(k)
Submission prior to its commercial distribution, the FDA could suspend further
commercial distribution of the PumpMaster and take regulatory action against the
Company for its prior distribution of the product.
 
     The Company's new products and new applications for existing products may
require FDA clearance or approval prior to marketing. The FDA is currently in
the process of revising the regulatory requirements and review criteria for
software-related medical devices, which could adversely effect the Company's
introduction of new software products, or devices that incorporate software, in
the future. The product clearance process for future products can be lengthy,
expensive and uncertain. There can be no assurance that market clearances will
be forthcoming in a timely manner, if at all, or that the FDA will not require
more extensive clinical evaluations, other information or a PMA Submission.
Moreover, the clearances, if granted, could limit the uses for which the product
could be marketed. Failure to obtain, or delays caused by, regulatory clearances
or approvals could have a material adverse affect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
 
     In October 1996, the Company learned of a defect in a software feature of
certain units of the 6060 Ambulatory Pump. The Company initiated a recall of
these units to correct the problem with an upgrade of the software. Pursuant to
FDA regulations, the Company notified the FDA of the recall and has updated the
FDA of the progress of the recall, which is now approximately 85% complete. The
FDA reported this recall in the January 15, 1997, issue of the FDA Enforcement
Report. There can be no assurance that the FDA will not take further enforcement
action against the Company with respect to this matter.
 
     The Company is also subject to strict domestic and foreign regulations and
supervision regarding the development, manufacturing, marketing, labeling,
distribution, and promotion of its products. This includes periodic inspections
of the Company's manufacturing facility by the FDA to determine compliance with
good manufacturing practice ("GMP") requirements, which are set forth in the
FDA's Quality System ("QS") regulations. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to attain or maintain compliance with GMP requirements.
 
     Failure to comply with the regulations outlined above may result in severe
governmental sanctions. Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result
in, among other things, rejection or withdrawal of premarket clearance or
approval for devices, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension
of production, fines, injunctions, and civil and criminal penalties. The FDA
also has the authority to request repair, replacement or refund of the cost of
any devices manufactured or sold by the Company. Any of these sanctions may have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations. See "Business -- Government Regulation."
 
PRODUCT LIABILITY EXPOSURE
 
     Manufacturers of medical devices face the possibility of substantial
liability for damages in the event that the use of their products is alleged to
have resulted in adverse effects to a patient. The Company maintains product
liability insurance with coverage limits of $5.0 million per occurrence with an
annual aggregate policy limit of $5.0 million. The Company's product liability
insurance provides coverage only for products currently manufactured and
distributed. There can be no assurance that liability claims will not exceed the
limits of such coverage or that such insurance will continue to be available on
commercially reasonable terms or at all. Furthermore, the Company does not
maintain insurance that would provide coverage for any costs or losses resulting
from any required recall of its products due to alleged defects, whether
instituted by the Company or a regulatory agency. See "Business -- Product
Liability Insurance."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
 
     During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company derived approximately
9% of its revenues from international sales, resulting in exposure to certain
risks. Fluctuations in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar against foreign
currencies may reduce demand for, or the profitability of, the Company's
products sold overseas. In addition, the Company's international sales may be
affected by economic or political instability and domestic and foreign
governmental regulations, including export license requirements, trade
restrictions, changes in tariffs, regulatory approval for marketing products or
similar factors. Finally, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect
the Company's intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of
the United States. See "Business -- Sales and Marketing" and "-- Intellectual
Property."

QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS
 
     The Company's quarterly revenues and operating results have varied
significantly in the past and may continue to do so in the future. In
particular, the Company's distributors and other customers may purchase several
months of inventory at one time which may cause fluctuations in quarterly
revenues. Future revenues and operating results may also fluctuate significantly
from quarter to quarter and will depend upon, among other factors: (i) demand
for the Company's products and new product introductions by the Company or its
competitors or transitions to new products, (ii) the timing of orders and
shipments, (iii) the mix of sales between products, (iv) competition, including
pricing pressures, (v) the timing of regulatory and third-party reimbursement
approvals, (vi) expansion of the Company's assembly capacity and the Company's
ability to assemble or manufacture its products efficiently, and (vii) the
timing of research and development expenditures. Accordingly, period-to-period
comparisons of the Company's revenues and operating results should not be relied
upon as an indication of future performance, and the results of any quarterly
period may not be indicative of results to be expected for a full year. See
"Selected Financial Data" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
 
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
     The Company's future performance depends in significant part upon the
continued service of its senior management and other key personnel. Because the
Company has a relatively small number of employees when compared to other
companies in the same industry, its dependence on maintaining its employees is
particularly significant. There can be no assurance that the Company's current
employees will continue to work for the Company. Loss of services of key
employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
results of operations and financial condition. The Company is also dependent on
its ability to attract and retain additional high quality personnel. The Company
may need to grant additional options to key employees and provide other forms of
incentive compensation to attract and retain key personnel. See "Business --
Employees."
 
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
 
     The Company anticipates that the net proceeds of the Offering will be
adequate to satisfy its operating and capital requirements at least through the
end of 1998. However, changes in the Company's business or business plan could
affect the Company's capital requirements. The Company's future capital
requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the
cost of manufacturing and marketing activities, its ability to successfully
market its products, the scope of its research and development programs, the
length of time required to collect accounts receivable, competing technological
and market developments, and potential acquisitions. If additional financing is
needed, beyond the amount available under existing credit facilities, there can
be no assurance that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if
at all, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing stockholders.
See "Use of Proceeds" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
 
INFLUENCE OF LIMITED NUMBER OF STOCKHOLDERS
 
     Following completion of the Offering, the directors and executive officers
of the Company and certain existing stockholders may be able to influence the
Company's affairs and business, including any determination with respect to a
change in control of the Company, future issuances of Common Stock or other
securities by the Company, declaration of dividends on the Company's Common
Stock and the election of directors. Such influence could have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company which could
deprive the Company's stockholders of the opportunity to sell their shares of
Common Stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices. See "Principal
Stockholders."
 
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
     The securities markets have, from time to time, experienced extreme price
and volume fluctuations which often have been unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. The market prices of the common stock of
many publicly-held medical device companies have been in the past, and are
expected to be, volatile. Announcements of technological or medical innovations
or new commercial products by the Company or its competitors, developments or
disputes concerning patents or proprietary rights, changes in
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   17
 
regulatory or medical reimbursement policies, and economic and other external
factors, as well as period-to-period fluctuations in the financial results of
the Company, may have a significant impact on the market price and marketability
of the Common Stock. See "Underwriting."
 
ADVERSE IMPACT OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
   
     Sales of shares of Common Stock (including shares issued upon the exercise
of outstanding options or warrants) in the public market after the Offering or
the perception that such sales could occur could adversely affect the market
price of the Common Stock. Such sales also might make it more difficult for the
Company to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at
a time and price that the Company deems appropriate. Upon completion of the
Offering, the Company will have approximately 10,266,028 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. The 2,178,493 shares offered hereby and the 2,875,000 shares issued
by the Company in its initial public offering in June 1996 will be freely
tradable without restriction, unless purchased by an affiliate of the Company.
Of the remaining 5,212,535 shares outstanding, all except 840,789 are eligible
for sale or have already been sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") upon the effective date of the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part (the "Effective
Date"). Shares held by the Selling Stockholders (other than those sold in the
Offering), all directors, certain officers, and certain stockholders are subject
to lock-ups of 60 or 90 days and may become available for sale upon the
expiration of such lock-ups. Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. may waive the foregoing
lock-up without notice to persons purchasing shares in this Offering and without
notice to any market on which the Common Stock is traded. In addition, certain
holders of the Company's Common Stock have registration rights. See "Shares
Eligible for Future Sale", "Dilution." "Description of Capital Stock --
Registration Rights" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
    
 
IMPACT OF ANTI-TAKEOVER MEASURES; POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK;
CLASSIFIED BOARD
 
     Certain provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
and the Delaware General Corporation Law may have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from
attempting to acquire, control of the Company. Such provisions could limit the
price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of
the Company's Common Stock. Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors is authorized to fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of unissued
shares of the Company's preferred stock and to issue such stock without any
further vote or action by the Company's stockholders. The rights of the holders
of Common Stock will be subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights
of the holders of any preferred stock that may be created and issued in the
future. In addition, stockholders do not have the right to cumulative voting for
the election of directors. The Company's Bylaws include a number of provisions
which may have the effect of discouraging persons from pursuing non-negotiated
takeover attempts. Specifically, the Company's Bylaws provide for a staggered
board whereby only one-third of the total number of directors are replaced or
re-elected each year. The Bylaws also require the affirmative vote of two-thirds
of the Company's issued and outstanding capital stock to remove a director.
 
     The Company is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law ("Section 203"), which restricts certain transactions and business
combinations between a corporation and an "Interested Stockholder" owning 15% or
more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock for a period of three years
from the date the stockholder becomes an Interested Stockholder. Subject to
certain exceptions, unless the transaction is approved in a prescribed manner,
Section 203 prohibits significant business transactions such as a merger with,
disposition of assets to or receipt of disproportionate financial benefits by
the Interested Stockholder, or any other transactions that would increase the
Interested Stockholder's proportionate ownership of any class or series of the
corporation's stock.
 
SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION AND ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS
 
     Purchasers of shares of Common Stock in the Offering will experience
immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of
Common Stock from the public offering price. In addition, the exercise of
outstanding options and warrants will result in further dilution. See
"Dilution." The Company has never paid any cash dividends and does not
anticipate paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
See "Dividend Policy."

                                  THE COMPANY
 
     The Company was organized under Illinois law in December, 1989, and was
reincorporated under Delaware law in December, 1991. The Company's executive
offices are located at 5601 West Howard Street, Niles, Illinois 60714. The
Company's telephone number is (847) 647-2760.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
   
     The net proceeds to be received by the Company from the sale of the
1,700,000 shares of Common Stock offered by it pursuant hereto are estimated to
be approximately $39.3 million ($46.9 million if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full), at an assumed public offering price
of $24.75 per share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and
estimated offering expenses. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the
sale of the 478,493 shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders
pursuant hereto. The Company will, however, receive proceeds of approximately
$935,522 upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants to purchase 191,799
shares of Common Stock by Selling Stockholders.
    
 
     The Company estimates that it will use the net proceeds in the following
manner: 20% for expanding manufacturing capacity; 20% for financing further
product development efforts; and 15% for expanding sales and marketing
activities, with the remainder to be used for working capital and general
corporate purposes. In addition, proceeds may be used for future joint ventures
or acquisitions of technologies, products or companies which are complementary
to the Company's business.
 
                          PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
 
     The Company completed its initial public offering in June, 1996 at a price
per share of $10.00. Since June 21, 1996, the Company's Common Stock has traded
on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "SBTK". The following table sets
forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low reported sale prices of
shares of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market.

     As of March 7, 1997, there were approximately 214 holders of record of the
Common Stock. On March 27, 1997, the last reported sale price on the Nasdaq
National Market for the Common Stock was $20 1/4 per share.
    
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital
stock. The Company currently intends to retain all available funds for use in
its business and therefore does not intend to pay any cash dividends on its
Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

                                    DILUTION
 
   
     The net tangible book value of the Company as of December 31, 1996 was
$28,608,542, or $3.49 per share. Net tangible book value per share is determined
by dividing the tangible net worth of the Company (total tangible assets less
total liabilities) by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Without
taking into account any changes in such net tangible book value after December
31, 1996, other than to give effect to the sale of the 1,700,000 shares of
Common Stock offered by the Company hereby at an assumed public offering price
of $24.75 per share and receipt by the Company of $935,522 upon the exercise of
outstanding options and warrants to purchase 191,799 shares of Common Stock by
the Selling Stockholders, net tangible book value of the Company as of December
31, 1996 would have been $68,804,939, or $6.82 per share (after deducting the
estimated underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by the Company).
This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $3.33 per
share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $17.93 per share to
new investors. Dilution to new investors is determined by subtracting the net
tangible book value per share after the Offering from the public offering price
per share. The following table illustrates this per share dilution.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
     Since its inception in 1989, through 1991, the Company was in its
development stage and engaged primarily in research and development, product
engineering and activities related to obtaining clearance from the FDA for its
first product, the 3030 Stationary Pump. The Company has a limited operating
history and, although profitable for the last two calendar quarters, has
experienced significant operating losses since inception. Upon receiving FDA
clearance for the 3030 Stationary Pump in mid-1992, the Company focused its
efforts on creating a domestic and international sales and marketing network, as
well as a manufacturing capability, to assist in the distribution of its first
product to the alternate-site health care market. Concurrent with these sales
and marketing activities, the Company continued to fund the research,
development and regulatory clearance activities of other device and software
products. See "Risk Factors -- History of Losses."
 
     The Company commercially launched the 6060 Ambulatory Pump and related
disposable supplies in late 1995 and its MediVIEW and PumpMaster in late 1996.
Since then, the Company has continued its sales and marketing activities
domestically and internationally for the distribution of its products and
continued to fund the research and development of additional products. In
addition, the Company derives revenues from the rental of its multi-therapy
infusion devices, servicing of products, and the sale of extended warranties.
See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on Principal Product Line and New Product
Development."
 
     The Company sells its products both directly to alternate-site and
acute-care providers, as well as to third-party distributors. The Company's
distributors and customers may purchase several months of inventory at any one
time which may cause fluctuations in quarterly revenues. Quarterly fluctuations
may also result from other factors. The Company also markets and sells its
products internationally and, as a result, its revenues may be affected by
fluctuations in exchange rates. Failure to obtain regulatory approval for the
distribution of new products domestically or in international markets, or
regulatory problems in general, may affect the revenues of the Company. See
"Risk Factors -- Dependence on Principal Product Line and New Product
Development," "-- Governmental Regulations," "-- International Operations," and
"-- Quarterly Fluctuations."
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
 
     NET SALES. Net sales increased to $17.7 million for the year ended December
31, 1996 from $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, an increase of
$13.7 million or 343%. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in
sales volume of the 3030 Stationary Pump, the 6060 Ambulatory Pump and the
respective disposables, to the alternate-site health care market. Also
contributing to the increase was the introduction of the MediVIEW and PumpMaster
products.
 
     COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased to $8.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, an
increase of $5.8 million, or 200%. Approximately $5.3 million of the increase
represents the direct manufacturing cost attributable to the increase in sales
volume and the balance of the increase is attributable to the investment in
fixed manufacturing costs and overhead necessary to increase production
capacity.
 
     GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin increased to $8.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, an
increase of $7.8 million, or 709%. The increase is due primarily to the increase
in sales volume and the resulting economies of scale associated with the
increase. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 50% for the year
ended December 31, 1996, from 28% for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
increase is due to the absorption of fixed manufacturing costs and overhead over
a greater unit volume, higher average pricing levels for the 3030 Stationary
Pump, and the higher margins inherent to the 6060 Ambulatory Pump introduced in
the fourth quarter of 1995.
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   23
 
     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $8.5 million for the year ended December
31, 1996 from $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, an increase of
$1.6 million, or 23%. Expansion of the Company's sales and clinical support
staff increased selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately
$1.8 million while reductions and elimination of financial, marketing and
product development consulting fees represent the offsetting amount. Selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales decreased to 48% for
the year ended December 31, 1996 from 173% for the year ended December 31, 1995.
The decrease is due to the allocation of overhead expenses over a greater volume
of sales.
 
     OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). The Company reported operating income of $474,000
for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to an operating loss of $5.7
million for the year ended December 31, 1995. The primary contributors to
operating profitability, as discussed above, are the incremental sales volume of
the 3030 Stationary Pump and the 6060 Ambulatory Pump and related products.
 
     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased to $319,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from $222,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, an
increase of $97,000, or 44%. The increase is attributable to the incremental
amount of debt issued by the Company and outstanding during the comparative
periods. Approximately $1.8 million, in aggregate, of debt was issued between
July and December, 1995 and was outstanding through the end of June, 1996.
 
     INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased to $617,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from $13,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
increase of $604,000 is due to the investment interest earned on proceeds from
the Company's initial public offering in June, 1996.
 
     INCOME TAX PROVISION. Due to net losses for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, the Company did not incur any federal or state income tax
liability for such periods. The Company currently has a net operating loss
carryforward in excess of $14.0 million; however, utilization of such
carryforward depends on future earnings and will be subject to annual
limitations as a result of changes that have occurred in the Company's
ownership.
 
     NET LOSS. Net loss decreased to $858,000 for the year ended December 31,
1996 from $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, a decrease of $5.1
million. The loss was reduced primarily as a result of increased sales volume of
new and existing products, as discussed above, and the allocation of fixed
manufacturing cost and overhead over a greater unit volume. The year ended
December 31, 1996 includes a non-recurring charge for stock appreciation rights
of approximately $1.6 million in connection with the Company's June, 1996
initial public offering, without which the Company would have reported net
income of $770,000.
 
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
 
     NET SALES. Net sales increased to $4.0 million for the year ended December
31, 1995 from $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1994, an increase of
$725,000 or 22%. The market launch of the 6060 Ambulatory Pump and related
disposable tubing sets in the fourth quarter of 1995 accounted for approximately
$611,000 of the increase. The remaining amount was attributable to further
penetration of the alternate-site health care market through sales of the 3030
Stationary Pump and related disposable tubing sets by regional distributors, the
implementation of a direct sales and marketing program in non-distributor
territories and the signing of additional national accounts.
 
     COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased to $2.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 from $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1994, an
increase of $421,000, or 17%. Approximately $399,000 of the increase was
attributed to increased sales volume. The remainder was related to the expansion
of the Company's manufacturing capacities, including an increase in operations
headcount and facility. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 72%
in 1995 from 75% in 1994 as a result of the change in product mix, as well as
efficiencies from volume purchases of supplies. However, the overall decrease in
cost of sales from these factors was partially offset by the costs associated
with increases in manufacturing capacities.
 
                                       19
<PAGE>   24
 
     GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin increased to $1.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 from $834,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994, an
increase of $304,000, or 36%. This increase in gross margin was attributable to
the higher percentage of sales to national accounts during 1995 at pricing
levels which were typically higher than those of sales to the Company's
distributors.
 
     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $6.9 million for the year ended December
31, 1995 from $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1994, an increase of
$2.8 million, or 68%. Selling, general and administrative expenses accounted for
170% of net sales in 1995 and 124% of net sales in 1994. The high level of such
expenses in both 1994 and 1995 is attributable to the Company's development of
its sales and marketing organization, expansion of its administrative staff, and
efforts to obtain FDA clearance for its products. The increase in such expenses
in 1995 from 1994 resulted primarily from an increase in the number of direct
sales personnel, increased expenditures relating to development of the 6060
Ambulatory Pump, MediVIEW and PumpMaster, the creation of a clinical support
department, and the further addition of administrative support staff.
Additionally, financial advisory fees of $410,000 were recorded in 1995.
 
     OPERATING LOSS. Operating loss increased to $5.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 from $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1994.
 
     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased to $222,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995 from $260,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994. This
decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction of average debt outstanding
during the year.
 
     INCOME TAX PROVISION. The Company had net operating losses for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, and therefore did not incur any federal or
state income tax liability.
 
     NET LOSS. As a result of the items discussed above, the Company's net loss
increased to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $3.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 1994.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     In June, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering with
proceeds of $26.7 million, after underwriters' discounts and commissions. As of
December 31, 1996, cash balances were invested in U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S.
Treasury Notes, a short-term bond mutual fund, and a money market account.
 
     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $16.8 million in
cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments in marketable
securities, and had net working capital of approximately $24.6 million.
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company received a commitment for a credit
facility with up to $9.5 million of available borrowing.
 
     The Company used cash in its operations of approximately $8.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 1996. Cash used in operations for the period exceeds
the Company's operating results for the same period due, primarily, to the
growth in trade accounts receivable and inventories as a result of actual and
anticipated growth in sales volume.
 
     The Company believes that its financial assets will be sufficient to fund
its operations for the foreseeable future. Future liquidity and capital
resources could be adversely influenced by certain factors including the
Company's dependence on a relatively new customer base, regulatory or
legislative changes pertaining to health care, product liability exposure
regarding the delivery of medication, dependence on future product development,
and others. There can be no assurance that the Company will not require
additional financing and may, in the future, seek additional funds through bank
facilities, debt or equity offerings and to the extent such additional financing
is not available, the Company could suffer material adverse effects to its
financial condition and the results of its operations.

INTRODUCTION
 
     Sabratek develops, produces and markets technologically-advanced,
user-friendly and cost-effective therapeutic and diagnostic medical systems
designed specifically to meet the unique needs of the alternate-site health care
market. The Company's multi-therapy infusion and other systems incorporate
advanced communications technology which is designed to reduce provider
operating costs while maintaining the integrity and quality of care. Sabratek's
proprietary health care information system provides remote programming as well
as real-time diagnostic and therapeutic data capture capabilities, allowing
caregivers to monitor patient compliance more effectively and allowing providers
to develop outcome analyses and optimal clinical protocols. The Company has
designed its integrated hardware and software system to permit providers of
infusion therapy to achieve cost-effective movement of patients along the
continuum of alternate-site health care settings. The Company intends to expand
its product line beyond infusion therapy to become a leading developer and
marketer of a variety of interactive therapeutic and diagnostic medical systems
for the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective health care in alternate sites.
The Company believes that its current and future products and related software
will facilitate the ability of alternate-site providers to create a "virtual"
hospital room, thereby affording the delivery of a wide range of care previously
provided primarily in an acute-care setting. Substantially all of the Company's
revenues have historically been derived from the sale of its multi-therapy
infusion pumps and related disposable supplies. Since August, 1996, the Company
has commercially introduced several additional products which it believes will
contribute to future revenues.
 
CHANGING HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENT
 
     The increase in health care costs at a rate significantly higher than that
of overall inflation has caused managed care companies, indemnity insurers,
employers, governmental agencies and other payors to employ a variety of
strategies designed to contain health care expenditures. These cost-containment
strategies aim to reduce the price paid for health care services, as well as the
amount of health care services utilized. In certain markets, payors are shifting
away from traditional fee-for-service based payment plans and moving towards
managed care plans in an effort to deliver quality health care services more
cost-effectively. In particular, cost-containment measures, including increased
utilization review and case management, have caused many health care providers
to move patients from the higher-cost hospital setting to lower-cost alternate
sites.
 
     The alternate-site health care industry, which includes the delivery of
skilled nursing services, intravenous infusion, respiratory therapy, physical
therapy and pharmaceutical therapies in the home, long-term care facilities,
physicians' offices and outpatient centers, has grown significantly during the
past decade. According to a report entitled "National Health Expenditure
Projections, 1994-2005" published in the summer of 1995 by HCFA, total
expenditures for home health care, which constitutes a significant component of
alternate-site health care, increased from approximately $11.1 billion in 1990
to approximately $24.2 billion in 1994 and is projected to reach $45.9 billion
in 2000. Since the early 1980s, the provision of acute and chronic care for
serious illnesses outside the hospital has been recognized as a critical
component of health care cost containment because the delivery of certain
therapies in an alternate-site setting is more cost effective than the delivery
of these same therapies in an acute-care hospital setting. The Company believes
that the alternate-site health care industry will continue to benefit from
cost-containment measures which governmental and private payors have employed to
reduce hospital admissions and lengths of stays in hospitals. The Company
believes that such measures will continue the increase in the use of
alternate-site health care due to its significantly lower cost when compared to
similar care provided in traditional health care settings. In addition to cost
savings, the alternate-site health care industry should continue to benefit from
advances in medical technology which have facilitated the provision of
sophisticated care outside the hospital. Many disease states, including
pulmonary diseases, neurological conditions, infectious diseases, digestive
disorders, AIDS-related symptoms, various forms of cancer and related medical
conditions such as pain and nausea, are now being treated in alternate-site
settings, including the home. Growth in alternate-site health care has also been
facilitated by the increased acceptance of such care by physicians, caregivers
and patients. The American Medical Association Council on Scientific Affairs and
the American Medical Association Council on Medical
 
                                       21

Education have recommended that training in the principles and practice of home
health care be incorporated into the undergraduate, graduate and continuing
education of physicians. Also contributing to the growth of the alternate-site
health care industry is the increase in the over-65 population, which has a
higher incidence of illness and disability.
 
     A significant component of alternate-site health care is infusion therapy,
which involves the administration of fluid intravenously at a regulated rate and
volume. Alternate-site infusion therapy has historically been the
fastest-growing segment of the alternate-site health care market. According to
POV, Incorporated, an industry tracking and consulting firm, the infusion
therapy segment of this market is expected to grow in revenues from $3.2 billion
in 1992 to $7.9 billion in 1997, representing an average annual compounded
growth rate of approximately 20%. Infusion therapy is used in a wide range of
applications such as nutrition therapy, pain management, delivery of
antibiotics, pregnancy and obstetrical therapies, chemotherapy, cardiovascular
therapy and immunosuppressive therapy. These therapies generally require the use
of specialized infusion pumps to deliver precise dosages of fluids such as
nutrients, parenteral solutions, anti-infectives, chemotherapeutic agents,
narcotic analgesics and a variety of other drugs.
 
     Due to the shift by managed care payors toward fixed fee or capitated
payment arrangements, providers of infusion therapy are being forced to reduce
costs without compromising the quality of care in order to maintain
profitability. The costs associated with providing infusion therapy are composed
of three general components: capital equipment, supplies and labor.
Traditionally, providers of infusion therapy needed to purchase multiple types
of infusion pumps and related back-up inventory because most pumps delivered
only one type of therapy. This requirement to purchase several single therapy
pumps also results in increased labor training costs because of the need to
learn multiple programming protocols. The delivery of infusion therapy requires
a substantial amount of non-clinical nursing time. The Company believes that
reducing the labor costs of delivering infusion therapy is critical for
alternate-site health care providers to achieve operating efficiencies.
According to a 1992 study of the home infusion therapy industry published by The
National Alliance for Infusion Therapy (the "NAIT Study"), nurses spent an
average of 3.1 hours per home visit, of which approximately 64 minutes, or 35%,
was spent traveling to and from the patient's home, 56 minutes, or 30%, was
spent documenting clinical observations as well as coordinating care and the
balance was spent on tasks performed during personal contact with the patient,
including documentation. The NAIT Study also shows that training is required for
patients not only at the start of therapy but also over time as the therapy of
an individual patient changes. The NAIT Study indicates that during such home
visits, a significant amount of nursing time is required to ensure that patients
are complying with the prescribed therapy. Compliance is important to ensure
that patients are not required to re-enter the costly hospital setting thereby
generating unnecessary incremental expenses and health risks as a result of
failure to adhere to their prescribed therapies, whether intentionally or
unintentionally. The Company believes that products and technology which reduce
the cost of providing infusion therapy, especially the labor component, will be
attractive to health care payors in general and providers of infusion therapy in
particular.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
     The Company's goal is to become a leading developer and marketer of
interactive therapeutic and diagnostic medical systems designed to improve the
delivery of high-quality, cost-effective health care at alternate sites. The
Company intends to achieve its goal by pursuing the following business
strategies:
 
     - OFFER ADVANCED MEDICAL PRODUCTS AND RELATED SOFTWARE SYSTEMS THAT
      MAXIMIZE THE COST-EFFECTIVE PROVISION OF ALTERNATE-SITE HEALTH CARE. The
      Company has designed its multi-therapy infusion products and related
      software system, and intends to develop additional products, to address
      the various needs of its major constituencies -- payors, providers and
      patients and their families.
 
        Payors -- The Company believes that payors are primarily concerned with
        reducing costs while assuring the quality of health care. The Company's
        multi-therapy infusion system has the flexibility to effectively treat a
        wide range of disease states in the lower cost alternate-site market.
        Characteristics of the Company's infusion and software systems help
        address quality assurance concerns through such features as real-time
        data capture, remote monitoring capability, alarms that immediately
        alert
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   27
 
        providers of non-compliance and the capability to perform customized
        outcomes analysis. Such analyses also help provide oversight of the
        practice patterns of health care providers.
 
        Providers -- The Company believes that alternate-site providers are
        concerned with improving their ability to effectively treat patients
        through the use of products that reduce labor costs, allow real-time
        patient monitoring, improve patient compliance and provide data to
        develop better protocols in order to improve operating efficiencies.
        This is particularly true under capitated payment programs. The
        Company's infusion products incorporate user-friendly characteristics
        that minimize set-up time and nurse/patient training, and have the
        flexibility to provide multiple therapies using a single infusion
        device. Additionally, the Company believes that its infusion pumps'
        capabilities for remote interactive programming and monitoring on a
        real-time basis considerably reduce costly on-site nurse intervention.
        The ability of the Company's infusion system to administer a variety of
        infusion therapies, as well as the Company's infusion pump testing
        device, allow providers to minimize their inventories of infusion pumps
        and related supplies. The Company's infusion pump testing device can
        further reduce costs by eliminating outside recalibration and
        preventative maintenance costs. The Company believes that the advanced
        features incorporated in its infusion system allow providers to treat
        higher acuity patients in the alternate-site setting who could
        previously only be treated in an acute-care hospital. In combination
        with the Company's interactive software, Sabratek's infusion pumps will
        enable health care professionals to collect diagnostic and therapeutic
        data useful in the analysis and development of clinical protocols and
        provide insight into practice patterns, thereby reducing the need for
        frequent on-site visits and evaluations as well as redundant and
        burdensome record-keeping.
 
        Patients and their Families -- The Company believes that, while
        undergoing infusion therapy, patients and their families want comfort,
        peace of mind, ease of use and more control over their lives. The
        Company's infusion system meets these needs through such characteristics
        as user-friendly programming to aid those patients who are not
        technologically literate, multiple language formats, quietness of
        operation, bright LED displays, alarm system warnings of non-compliance
        and, when used in conjunction with the Company's interactive software,
        the ability to provide real-time information over standard telephone
        lines to providers in remote locations. Real-time monitoring and
        intervention capabilities provide patients with an increased comfort
        level to receive therapies in a home setting where they would otherwise
        feel uncomfortable because of the lack of immediately available medical
        personnel.
 
     - OFFER AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM OF THERAPEUTIC AND DIAGNOSTIC
      INFORMATION-BASED MEDICAL PRODUCTS SUPPORTED BY THE COMPANY'S PROPRIETARY
      HEALTH CARE INFORMATION SOFTWARE PLATFORM. The Company's software system
      allows health care providers to program and monitor the Company's infusion
      pumps and capture data for reporting and clinical purposes from a remote
      location on a real-time basis. The Company intends to expand the
      capabilities of its proprietary medical information software as well as
      its line of advanced, user-friendly medical devices to create a complete
      interactive system that addresses a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic
      applications in the alternate-site health care industry. The Company
      intends to expand its line of products through further internal product
      design and development, licensing arrangements, joint ventures and
      acquisitions of technology, products and companies when available.
 
     - CREATE A PROPRIETARY OUTCOMES DATABASE THROUGH THE COMPANY'S PRODUCTS AND
      SOFTWARE SYSTEM PLATFORM. The Company's strategy is to expand the
      installed base of its interactive medical system and to become the
      preferred vendor of such system to alternate-site health care providers.
      The Company believes that its software-based medical systems will serve as
      a platform on which to develop interactive communication and information
      systems designed to allow payors and providers to capture and analyze
      clinical data to design the most cost-effective therapy protocols and
      practice patterns. The Company has designed its proprietary information
      system to incorporate a wide range of real-time, remote programming,
      monitoring and administrative report functions for multiple therapeutic
      modalities beyond infusion therapy.

PRODUCTS
 
     SABRATEK'S SEAMLESS DELIVERY SYSTEM.  Sabratek's software-based infusion
devices and related interactive information system and pump testing device are
designed to provide both health care professionals and patients with ease of use
and a smooth transition throughout the health care delivery spectrum. Sabratek's
SEAMLESS DELIVERY SYSTEM product design is the Company's strategic response to
the need to achieve cost-effective movement of patients from a hospital setting
to an alternate-site setting, and among the various stages in alternate-site
care, from sub-acute to home care, with maximum ease of transition. The SEAMLESS
DELIVERY SYSTEM maximizes the similarities between Sabratek's stationary and
ambulatory infusion devices and is intended to allow both patients and health
care providers to use both types of infusion devices interchangeably, as the
specific setting or therapy dictates, and with greater ease. This ability
reduces the amount of time health care professionals must spend training on
multiple operating systems as well as administering and monitoring therapies. In
addition, Sabratek's infusion devices have the flexibility to provide multiple
therapies which allows providers to minimize their equipment inventories.
Sabratek's infusion devices intravenously deliver therapeutic agents to address
treatments for a wide variety of conditions, including, among others, antibiotic
therapy for viral or bacterial infections, chemotherapy for cancer, pain
management for chronic pain, clotting agents for hemophilia and various
therapies for pregnancy and obstetrics.

     SABRATEK 3030 -- STATIONARY MULTI-THERAPY INFUSION PUMP.  The Company's
3030 Stationary Pump is an electromechanical, volumetric infusion device that is
able to deliver a wide variety of infusion therapies including, among others,
chemotherapy, antibiotics, circadian rhythms and total parenteral nutrition
under three standard and one customizable delivery modes. The 3030 Stationary
Pump incorporates multiple language capabilities, remote communications and
pre-programming capabilities, a state-of-the-art ergonomic design and a
relatively easy-to-learn programming format. The 3030 Stationary Pump operates
with leading brands of disposable tubing as well as Sabratek's own line of
non-proprietary disposable tubing.
 
     SABRATEK 6060/HOMERUN -- AMBULATORY MULTI-THERAPY INFUSION PUMP.  The
Company's 6060 Ambulatory Pump weighs approximately 13 ounces and can be worn
discreetly by a patient. The 6060 Ambulatory Pump was designed as a
complementary product to the 3030 Stationary Pump and, when combined with the
use of the 3030 Stationary Pump, provides a seamless transition between the bed
and an ambulatory state, or vice versa, with minimal additional training. The
6060 Ambulatory Pump has delivery capabilities and a programming format that are
similar to the 3030 Stationary Pump, with the addition of a pre-programmed
capability to deliver pain management infusion therapy. The 6060 Ambulatory Pump
also has the ability to work in conjunction with the MediVIEW software and
utilizes a proprietary disposable tubing set.
 
     DISPOSABLE INFUSION SUPPLIES.  The Company sells non-proprietary disposable
tubing sets for use with the 3030 Stationary Pump and proprietary disposable
tubing sets for use exclusively with the 6060 Ambulatory Pump. Through the
acquisition of Rocap, the Company has begun offering I.V. Admixture and
pre-filled syringe products.
 
     MEDIVIEW -- REMOTE PROGRAMMING, MONITORING AND DATA CAPTURE SOFTWARE
SYSTEM.  MediVIEW is a proprietary software system designed to allow providers
to program and monitor Sabratek's infusion pumps and capture data for reporting
and clinical purposes from remote locations over standard telephone lines. The
Company has designed MediVIEW to enable alternate-site health care providers
using the 3030 Stationary Pump and 6060 Ambulatory Pump combined with MediVIEW
to: (i) remotely monitor and program the Company's pumps on a real-time basis,
(ii) receive instantaneous notification of alarm activation and immediately
respond from the provider's physical location, (iii) automatically record and
"package" data regarding the outcomes of actual therapy courses for specific
case management and clinical as well as administrative/reimbursement purposes,
and (iv) develop a proprietary clinical protocol and outcomes database useful to
providers in managed care cases. In addition, patients who receive therapy on
the Company's infusion products should derive greater comfort because their
providers will be able to monitor their therapies on a real-time basis. The
first release of MediVIEW became commercially available in the third quarter of
1996.
 
     PUMPMASTER -- PORTABLE, AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE FOR THE TESTING OF
SABRATEK INFUSION PUMPS. The PumpMaster is a portable device designed to enable
providers to perform on-site diagnostic tests on Sabratek's infusion devices.
Pursuant to suggested standards adopted by the Joint Commission for the
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO"), an industry group which
promulgates standards relating to the provision of alternate-site health care,
the performance of every infusion pump is required to be re-certified on the
earlier of the date on which such pump is provided to a new patient for their
use or the date which is 12 months from the date of the last certification. The
Company believes that it is not cost-efficient for providers to maintain
in-house bio-medical engineering resources on a branch level to perform pump re-
certification. Instead, providers typically ship their pumps for remote-site
testing and, as a result, are required to maintain costly back-up pump
inventory. The PumpMaster is intended to obviate such incremental capital
expenditure outlays as well as eliminate the cost of outside infusion pump
testing. The PumpMaster is designed to conduct automatically, in approximately
ten minutes, all tests typically performed as part of JCAHO re-certification.
PumpMaster became commercially available in the fourth quarter of 1996.
 
SALES AND MARKETING
 
     The Company sells its products to a diverse group of customers in the
alternate-site health care industry such as sub-acute skilled nursing care
facilities, home health care providers, physicians' offices, clinics, surgery
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   30
 
centers and long-term care facilities. This group of customers ranges in size
from national and regional chains to local independent operators. The Company's
products are also sold to hospitals. Key decision makers include nursing,
pharmacy, purchasing and bio-medical departments, as well as physicians.
 
     As of December 31, 1996, the Company's domestic sales force consisted of 17
direct sales professionals, six clinical support staff and two full-time sales
consultants as well as a network of domestic distributors each of whom covers an
exclusive geographic territory. In certain limited geographic areas, the
distributors are directly involved in sales and implementation; in others, the
distributors act as support to the new client implementation process. The
Company's distributors have been selected for their experience in and focus on
the infusion therapy market, coverage of specific geographical areas, product
sales support and regional dominance. The Company's sales management team trains
the sales personnel of each of the distributors and provides them with all
product information and other relevant field literature. In addition, Sabratek's
direct sales representatives coordinate and manage national account activity.
The Company's marketing and sales efforts are supported by advertising in trade
journals, new product literature and attendance at trade shows. The Company
believes that its existing sales force and distribution network provide the
necessary infrastructure to market its current products and those under
development. The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds from the
Offering to augment its sales and marketing staff and increase its marketing
efforts to further facilitate sales of current and future products.
 
     The Company has also entered into distribution agreements with distributors
in South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. For the year ended
December 31, 1996, international sales accounted for approximately 9% of the
Company's total sales. The Company perceives the international marketplace as a
potential area for future growth. The Company has distribution agreements in
Japan and Germany, which it believes are among the largest international markets
for infusion systems, and will commence marketing its products in these
countries upon receipt of regulatory approval. Currently, all of the Company's
international sales are invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars.
 
     The Company has enhanced its domestic sales effort through an affiliation
with Americorp Financial, Inc. ("Americorp") to provide leasing services to the
Company's domestic customers. Americorp has licensed the name "Sabratek Credit
Corporation" from the Company and offers financing for the acquisition of
Sabratek products under both capital and operating leases.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     The Company is committed to continued product innovation and has invested
approximately $1.0 million, $2.2 million and $1.1 million in research and
development for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company's research and development effort is supported by a staff of twelve
electrical, mechanical and software engineers who have extensive experience in
the design and development of electromechanical infusion therapy devices, other
medical instrumentation and software. Sabratek's engineering team closely
coordinates its design activities with the Company's sales and marketing team.
This group solicits extensive pre-design focus group input from constituencies
that use or are impacted by the use of Sabratek's products, but who may possess
a host of different strategic, economic and other objectives.
 
     Sabratek's research and development program is focused on both new product
development and enhancements of existing products. The Company's product
development efforts include advancements in infusion therapy, interactive
software systems, vital signs monitoring, blood gas monitoring and whole blood
analysis. The Company's product development strategy is based on developing
product platforms that have the flexibility to be configured to respond to a
variety of customer requirements. The Company's product enhancement efforts are
based on the input received from customers after the initial introduction of its
products and focus on addressing customers' needs in a more cost-effective and
comprehensive way.
 
ASSEMBLY AND MANUFACTURING
 
     Sabratek currently assembles all of its infusion devices at its facility in
Niles, Illinois in an effort to ensure production quality and control its costs.
The Company outsources the manufacture of certain sub-systems used in its
infusion systems. In addition, disposable tubing sets sold by Sabratek are
manufactured by contract
 
                                       26
<PAGE>   31
 
manufacturers. Sabratek believes its use of in-house assembly and contract
manufacturing is the most cost-effective means of producing its products.
Additionally, Sabratek's Rocap division manufactures prepackaged injectible
prescription pharmaceuticals and pre-filled I.V. flush syringes at its facility
in Woburn, Massachusetts.
 
     The Company's production process for its infusion devices consists of
assembling major sub-systems as well as the assembly of both standard and custom
components. The standard components can be obtained from a number of sources.
The custom components are produced by both Sabratek as well as by sub-
contractors and, in all cases, competitive back-up supply sources exist. The
Company believes that, due to volume discounts, the unit cost of both standard
and custom components will decrease as production volumes increase.
 
     Disposable tubing sets are manufactured to Sabratek's specifications by
third parties in a clean room environment under stringent quality control
procedures covering assembly, storage and sterilization. Set production consists
of the assembly of both standard and custom components. The plastic custom
components are manufactured by a sub-contractor using molds supplied by the
Company. The Company uses more than one manufacturer for the production of its
disposable tubing sets.
 
QUALITY ASSURANCE
 
     The Company maintains a comprehensive quality assurance program. The
quality assurance program begins with the components and other materials the
Company purchases from vendors. Vendors are required to supply materials which
meet stated specifications. The Company monitors vendors' compliance with the
stated specifications through a program of on-site surveys, audits and product
testing. The Company also employs quality assurance procedures during its
on-site manufacturing and assembly process in an effort to ensure that finished
products meet the standards set by the Company. All finished products are tested
by the Company's separate quality assurance department to ensure that the
Company avoids distributing sub-standard products. Finally, the Company
maintains a post-sale performance monitoring program.
 
     Sabratek provides a one-year warranty on the 3030 Stationary Pump, the 6060
Ambulatory Pump and PumpMaster. This warranty is passed on to the end-users by
the distributors. To provide further product support, the Company has
established an in-house capability for repair, maintenance and upgrade of its
products. The repair and maintenance function utilizes full-time technical
personnel as well as on-going support from temporary and production personnel as
required to service infusion devices. The Company believes the service and
maintenance of its infusion devices require minimal manpower due to the
modularity of such devices' sub-systems, sound quality control procedures and
the service capabilities of distributors.
 
     As part of its quality program, Sabratek provides its customers with
extensive in-service and training in the use of its products. This is provided
by both Sabratek's sales force and its distributors.
 
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 
     One United States patent and one Australian patent have been issued for the
3030 Stationary Pump. In addition, two foreign patents are pending for the 3030
Stationary pump. For the 6060 Ambulatory Pump, four United States patents have
been allowed (are awaiting the issuance of patent numbers by the Patent and
Trademark Office) and four United States patents are pending. One United States
and one German patent have been issued for the 6060 Infusion Set and United
States and foreign patents are pending on this product. The Company also has
United States and Foreign patents pending for certain aspects of MediVIEW and
PumpMaster. There is one United States patent pending with respect to the
pre-filled syringe products. The Company also requires each of its employees,
consultants and advisors to agree in writing to keep its proprietary information
confidential and to assign all inventions relating to the Company's business to
the Company. There can be no assurance that any unprotected information will not
also be developed by others.
 
                                       27

     The Company has registered or applied to register the following trademarks:
SABRATEK(R) and its logo, AutoRamp(R), HOMERUN(R), SEAMLESS DELIVERY SYSTEM(TM),
PumpMaster(TM), MediVIEW(R) and TCS Total Compliance System(TM). The Company has
also filed a foreign trademark application for the name SABRATEK(TM) and its
logo in Japan. See "Risk Factors--Intellectual Property."
 
COMPETITION
 
     The Company faces substantial competition. At the present time, the Company
considers its primary competitors to be other marketers of infusion pumps. The
Company believes there are several major competitors in the market for infusion
pump devices, including, but not limited to: Abbott Laboratories; Advanced
Medical, Inc.; Baxter International Inc.; I-Flow Corp.; McGaw, Inc., a
subsidiary of IVAX Corporation, and SIMS Deltec. See "Risk Factors -- Highly
Competitive Markets; Technological Risk."
 
     Despite the greater size and market share of its competitors, Sabratek
believes that its products compete favorably against the products offered by its
competitors. Sabratek has strategically designed its stationary and ambulatory
pump products to offer cost efficient and convenient transferability of
training/operational procedures and functions. Unlike manufacturers that offer
only a stationary or an ambulatory pump, or offer both but whose products lack
operational integration, Sabratek's SEAMLESS DELIVERY SYSTEM product design
provides health care providers with product standardization which the Company
believes to be critical in achieving operating efficiencies. Sabratek believes
that its products also compete favorably with the products of larger, more
established companies on the basis of other advanced product features.

     The Company's current products are generally purchased by health care
providers who are reimbursed by third-party payors, including indemnity
insurance companies, managed care organizations and government agencies. Such
health care providers recover the cost of purchasing the Company's products
through reimbursement for services provided using the Company's products. A
recent trend is for providers to contract for services on a capitated basis.
Under those contracts, providers receive a fixed fee for providing service to
patients. In those situations, the providers' profit or loss on the contract is
dependent upon managing its costs.
 
     HCFA coordinates a system of reimbursement for outpatient hospital
procedures, physician office procedures and devices used in conjunction
therewith. Under this system, HCFA determines coverage eligibility, issues
coverage instructions and assigns billing codes called the HCFA Common
Procedures Coding System ("HCPCS") for such procedures and devices under
Medicare and Medicaid. HCFA has established HCPCS billing codes for infusion
devices. Moreover, the HCPCS system is referenced by most third-party payors,
including Medicare and Medicaid, insurance companies and health maintenance
organizations, thereby standardizing coverage identification and billing
identification across a broad spectrum of payor plans. When the use of
FDA-approved infusion devices is prescribed by a physician and determined to be
reasonable and necessary in the treatment of illness, such use is generally
reimbursable under Medicare and Medicaid. Reimbursement by other third-party
payors is dependent upon the coverage provided under the applicable plan. See
"Risk Factors -- Dependence on Third-Party Reimbursement."
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
     The medical devices and supplies manufactured and marketed by the Company
are subject to regulation by the FDA and, in some instances, by state and
foreign authorities. Pursuant to the FFDCA and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, the FDA regulates the clinical testing, development, manufacture,
packaging, labeling, distribution and promotion of medical devices and supplies.
 
     Pursuant to the FFDCA, medical devices intended for human use are
classified into three categories, Classes I, II and III, on the basis of the
controls deemed necessary by the FDA to reasonably assure their safety and
effectiveness. Class I devices are subject to general controls (for example,
labeling, premarket notification and adherence to good manufacturing practice
("GMP") requirements) and Class II devices are subject to general and special
controls (for example, performance standards, postmarket surveillance, patient
registries, and FDA guidelines). Generally, Class III devices are those which
must receive premarket approval ("PMA") from the FDA to ensure their safety and
effectiveness (for example, life-sustaining, life-supporting and implantable
devices, or new devices which have not been found substantially equivalent to
legally
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   33
 
marketed devices). Electronic infusion devices and disposable tubing sets are
classified by the FDA as Class II medical devices.
 
     If a new Class II medical device is substantially equivalent in terms of
safety and effectiveness to a medical device already legally marketed in the
United States, the FDA requirements may be satisfied through a procedure known
as a "510(k) Submission," in which the applicant provides product information
supporting its claim of substantial equivalency. "Substantial equivalence" means
that a device has the same intended use and the same technological
characteristics as the legally marketed device, or the same intended use and
different technological characteristics, provided that it can be demonstrated
that the device is as safe and effective as the legally marketed device, and
does not raise different questions regarding safety and effectiveness. A
"legally marketed device" to which a new device may be compared for a
determination regarding substantial equivalence is a device that was legally
marketed prior to May 28, 1976, when the Medical Device Amendments were added to
the FFDCA, or a device which has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or
I, or a device which has been found to be substantially equivalent through the
510(k) premarket notification process.
 
     Commercial distribution of a device for which a 510(k) Submission is
required can begin only after the FDA issues an order finding the device to be
"substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed device. The FDA has recently
been requiring a more rigorous demonstration of substantial equivalence than in
the past. This may include a requirement for clinical testing of the device. It
generally takes from four to twelve months from submission of a 510(k) to obtain
a 510(k) clearance, but it may take longer. The FDA may determine that a
proposed device is not substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device, in
which case a PMA may be required, or that additional information is needed
before a substantial equivalence determination can be made, in which case data
from safety and effectiveness tests, including clinical tests, may be required.
The process for preparing and obtaining FDA approval of a PMA is much more
elaborate, time-consuming, and expensive than the process of preparing and
obtaining FDA clearance of a 510(k) Submission and would require the Company,
among other things, to conduct preclinical and clinical trials to demonstrate
the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device. A "not substantially
equivalent" determination or a request for additional information could
significantly delay the market introduction of new products.
 
     The Company received 510(k) clearance to begin marketing the 3030
Stationary Pump in the United States in May, 1992. The Company received 510(k)
clearance for the disposable tubing sets for use with the 3030 Stationary Pump
in March, 1995. In July, 1994, the FDA cleared the 510(k) Submission for the
6060 Ambulatory Pump and disposable tubing sets for use with the 6060 Ambulatory
Pump. In June 1996, the Company received 510(k) clearance for the MediVIEW
software system for use with the 3030 Stationary Pump.
 
     The Company believes that its 510(k) clearance for the 6060 Ambulatory Pump
adequately described the MediVIEW software system and, accordingly, that the
original 510(k) clearance for the 6060 Ambulatory Pump permits the Company to
market the MediVIEW software with the 6060 Ambulatory Pump in the United States.
However, there can be no assurance that the FDA would agree with the Company's
determination. If in the future the FDA concluded that the MediVIEW software
system for use with the 6060 Ambulatory Pump required a new 510(k) Submission,
the FDA could prohibit the Company from marketing the MediVIEW software system
for this use until the Company files a new 510(k) Submission and obtains
clearance from the FDA. The FDA could also take regulatory action against the
Company for any prior distribution of the MediVIEW software system with the 6060
Ambulatory Pump. Alternatively, the FDA could use its discretion not to take any
regulatory steps with regard to this issue.
 
     The PumpMaster is a hardware and software system designed to perform
diagnostic tests on the Company's infusion pumps. The Company has determined
that the PumpMaster does not qualify as a medical device under the statutory
definition and, therefore, did not file a 510(k) Submission with respect to such
product. There can be no assurance that the FDA will agree with the Company's
determination in this regard. If the FDA were to determine that the PumpMaster
is a medical device, it could suspend its commercial distribution until such
time as a 510(k) Submission covering such product has been filed and cleared.
The FDA could also take regulatory action against the Company based on its prior
distribution of the uncleared
 
                                       29
<PAGE>   34
 
product. Alternatively, the FDA could use its discretion not to take any
regulatory steps with respect to this issue.
 
     The FFDCA requires the filing of a new 510(k) Submission when, among other
things, there is a major change or modification in the intended use of the
device or a change or modification, including product enhancements, to a legally
marketed device that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness. A
device manufacturer is responsible for making the initial determination as to
whether a proposed change to a cleared device or to its intended use
necessitates the filing of a new 510(k) Submission. The Company has made some
enhancements to its currently marketed products without filing 510(k)
Submissions. There can be no assurance that the FDA would agree with the
Company's determinations that these enhancements do not require a 510(k)
Submission. Likewise, if the Company determines that any modifications that it
may make to its cleared devices in the future do not require a new 510(k)
Submission, there can be no assurance that the FDA would agree with the
Company's determinations and would not require a new 510(k) Submission for any
modifications made to the devices. If the FDA requires the Company to file a new
510(k) Submission for any past or future modification to a cleared device, the
Company may be prohibited from marketing the device as modified until it obtains
clearance from the FDA. There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain
510(k) clearance on a timely basis, if at all, for any device modification for
which it files a future 510(k) Submission. If 510(k) clearance is granted, there
can be no assurance that it will not contain significant limitations in the form
of warnings, precautions or contraindications with respect to conditions of use.
 
     The Company intends to develop new products for the future, including new
applications for the MediVIEW software system. The Company's new products,
including new applications for existing products, may qualify as devices that
require FDA clearance or approval prior to marketing . The FDA is currently in
the process of revising the regulatory requirements and review criteria for
software-related medical devices, which could adversely affect the Company's
introduction of new software products, or devices that incorporate software, in
the future. There can be no assurance that market clearance of future products
or product applications will be forthcoming in a timely manner, if at all, or
that FDA's clearance or approval of future products or product applications will
not contain significant limitations in the form of warnings, precautions or
contraindications with respect to conditions of use.
 
     In October 1996, the Company learned of a defect in a software feature of
certain units of the 6060 Ambulatory Pump. The Company initiated a recall of
these units to correct the problem with an upgrade of the software. Pursuant to
FDA regulations, the Company notified the FDA of the recall and has updated the
FDA of the progress of the recall, which is now approximately 85% complete. The
FDA classified the Company's recall as a Class II recall, which is defined as a
situation in which the use of a violative product may cause temporary or
medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of
serious adverse health consequences is remote. FDA reported this recall in the
January 15, 1997 issue of the FDA Enforcement Report. There can be no assurance
that FDA will not take further enforcement action against the Company with
respect to this matter.
 
     Any products manufactured or distributed by the Company pursuant to FDA
clearances or approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by
the FDA. Device manufacturers are required to register their establishments and
list their devices with the FDA, and are subject to periodic inspections by the
FDA and certain state agencies. The FFDCA requires devices to be manufactured in
accordance with GMP requirements, which impose certain process, procedure and
documentation requirements upon the Company with respect to product development,
manufacturing and quality assurance activities. FDA recently revised its GMP
requirements. The new GMP requirements, which are outlined under the FDA's
Quality Systems regulations, are more extensive than previous requirements.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attain or maintain
compliance with GMP requirements.
 
     In addition, the Medical Device Reporting ("MDR") regulation obligates the
Company to inform the FDA whenever there is reasonable evidence to suggest that
one of its devices may have caused or contributed to death or serious injury, or
where one of its devices malfunctions and, if the malfunction were to recur, the
device would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury.
There can be no assurance that the
 
                                       30
<PAGE>   35
 
FDA would agree with the Company's determinations as to whether particular
incidents meet the threshold for MDR reporting.
 
     Labeling and promotion activities are also subject to scrutiny by the FDA
and, in certain instances, by the Federal Trade Commission. The FDA actively
enforces regulations prohibiting marketing of products for unapproved or
uncleared uses.
 
     If, as a result of FDA inspections, MDR reports or information derived from
any other source, the FDA believes the Company is not in compliance with the law
or regulations thereunder, the FDA can refuse to clear pending 510(k)
Submissions; withdraw previously cleared 510(k) Submissions; require
notification to users regarding newly found unreasonable risks; request repair,
refund or replacement of faulty devices; request corrective advertisements,
formal recalls or temporary marketing suspension; impose civil penalties; or
institute legal proceedings to detain or seize products, enjoin future
violations, or seek criminal penalties against the Company, its officers or
employees. Civil penalties for FFDCA violations may be assessed by the FDA in
lieu of or in addition to instituting legal action. Civil penalties may range up
to $15,000 per violation for violations of the FFDCA, and a maximum of
$1,000,000 per proceeding. Civil penalties may not be imposed for GMP
violations, unless the violations involve a significant or knowing departure
from the requirements of the FFDCA or a risk to public health. The FDA provides
manufacturers with an opportunity to be heard prior to the assessment of civil
penalties. If civil penalties are assessed, judicial review is available.
 
     The Company exports, or intends to export, its products to Europe, Japan
and other foreign countries. Exports of products that have market clearance from
the FDA in the United States do not require FDA authorization for export.
However, foreign countries often require, among other things, an FDA Certificate
to Foreign Government verifying that the product complies with FFDCA
requirements. To obtain a Certificate to Foreign Government, the device
manufacturer must certify to the FDA that the product has been granted clearance
or approval in the United States and that the manufacturer and the exported
products are in substantial compliance with the FFDCA and all applicable or
pertinent regulations. The FDA may refuse to issue a Certificate to Foreign
Government if significant outstanding GMP violations exist.
 
     International sales of medical devices are subject to the regulatory
requirements of each country. The regulatory review process varies from country
to country. Many countries also impose product standards, packaging and labeling
requirements, and import restrictions on devices. In addition, each country has
its own tariff regulations, duties and tax requirements. The Company plans to
use its distributors to assist in obtaining any necessary foreign governmental
and regulatory approvals. The Company does not currently have its products
registered or approved in any countries requiring an extensive registration or
approval process and has, therefore, not sold any products in such countries.
 
     The Company has received Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. product recognition
under UL 544, Standard for Medical and Dental Equipment as well as product
recognition under Canadian National Standard C22.2 through cUL for both the 3030
Stationary Pump and the 6060 Ambulatory Pump. To maintain "UL" status, the
Company is subject to quarterly inspections by Underwriters Laboratory, Inc.
 
     The Company and its products are also subject to a variety of state and
local laws and regulations in those states or localities where its products are
or will be marketed. Manufacturers are also subject to numerous federal, state
and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions,
manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control and
disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. There can be no
assurance that the Company will not be required to incur significant costs to
comply with such laws and regulations.
 
     The Company's Rocap division is currently registered with the FDA as a drug
manufacturer and repackager. Rocap intends to develop new products and to make
modifications to existing products. Such new or modified products may require
obtaining 510(k) clearance, new drug application approval, or other FDA
clearance. If it were determined that any such new or modified products required
prior FDA approval, the Company would be prohibited from marketing such products
until the necessary approvals were obtained. Such approvals could prove costly
and time consuming to obtain. In addition there can be no assurance that the
Company will obtain such clearances on a timely basis, if at all, for any new
product and/or modification
 
                                       31
<PAGE>   36
 
to an existing product. If any such clearance is granted, there can be no
assurance that it will not contain significant limitations in the form of
warnings, precautions, or contraindications with respect to conditions of the
use.
 
PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE
 
     The Company faces an inherent business risk of exposure to product
liability claims in the event that the use of its products is alleged to have
resulted in adverse effects. The Company maintains product liability insurance
with coverage of $5.0 million per claim, with an annual aggregate policy limit
of $5.0 million. There can be no assurance that liability claims will not exceed
the coverage limits of such policies or that such insurance will continue to be
available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. See "Risk Factors --
Product Liability Exposure."
 
LITIGATION
 
     On February 5, 1997, SIMS Deltec filed the Complaint in the United States
District Court for the District of Minnesota alleging that Sabratek's
manufacture, use and/or sale of the MediVIEW software in conjunction with its
infusion pumps infringes on a patent entitled "Systems and Methods for
Communicating with Ambulatory Medical Devices Such as Drug Delivery Devices"
previously issued to SIMS Deltec. The Complaint seeks injunctive relief,
unspecified monetary damages and costs. The Company has not yet formally
responded to the Complaint but intends to vigorously defend against the
allegations contained in the Complaint. Protracted litigation or an adverse
outcome in this matter could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
     The Company is also a party to routine litigation in the ordinary course of
business, none of which, if determined adversely to the Company, would
individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     As of December 31, 1996, the Company employed 100 persons full-time,
including 48 in manufacturing and operations, 26 in sales and marketing, eight
in research and development, twelve in administration, and six in regulatory
affairs/quality assurance. The Company anticipates hiring additional personnel
following the completion of the Offering, primarily in the areas of sales and
marketing and operations. The Company's employees are not represented by a
union, and the Company considers its relationship with its employees to be
satisfactory.
 
     The Company has entered into employee non-disclosure and non-competition
agreements with each of its full-time employees that (i) prohibit disclosure of
confidential information to anyone outside of the Company both during and
subsequent to employment, (ii) require disclosure to the Company of ideas,
discoveries or inventions relating to or resulting from the employee's work for
the Company and assignment to the Company of all proprietary rights to such
ideas, discoveries or inventions, and (iii) limit competition with the Company's
business by the employee for a maximum period of one year following termination
of their employment.
 
FACILITIES
 
     The Company occupies approximately 38,000 square feet of development,
production, warehouse and administrative space in Niles, Illinois. The facility
lease runs through October 31, 1999. The current annual lease rate for this
space is approximately $217,000 and is subject to annual increases. Sabratek
believes that the leased space is adequate for its anticipated needs into the
foreseeable future.
 
     The Company's Rocap division occupies approximately 7,900 square feet of
production, warehouse and administrative space at two facilities in Woburn,
Massachusetts. The lease terms end July 31, 2000 and August 1, 2000. The current
annual lease rate in aggregate is approximately $64,000. Sabratek intends to
continue to operate the Rocap division's current business from its existing
facilities but may need to lease additional space based upon the planned
expansion of the Rocap division business.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     The Company's Stock Option Plan was adopted in 1992, amended in 1993 and
amended and restated in 1996. The Stock Option Plan, as amended, provides for
the grant of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,773,668 shares of
Common Stock. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee which makes
discretionary grants ("discretionary grants") of options to employees (including
employees who are officers and directors of the Company) and consultants. The
Stock Option Plan also provides for formula grants ("formula grants") of options
to directors who are not employees of the Company.
 
     Options granted pursuant to discretionary grants may be nonqualified
options or incentive options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
                                       38
<PAGE>   43
 
     The selection of participants, allotment of shares, determination of price
and other conditions of purchase of such options are determined by the
Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion. Options granted pursuant to
discretionary grants are exercisable for a period of up to ten years, except
that incentive options granted to optionees who, at the time the option is
granted, own stock representing greater than 10% of the voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary, are exercisable for
a period of up to five years. The per share exercise price of incentive options
granted pursuant to discretionary grants must be no less than 100% of the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, except that the per share
exercise price of incentive options granted to optionees who, at the time the
options are granted, own stock representing greater than 10% of the voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary, must be no
less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock. The per share
exercise price of non-qualified stock options granted pursuant to discretionary
grants must be no less than 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the date of grant.
 
     Under the formula grants, each director who is not an employee of the
Company receives automatically upon such director's election to the Board an
option to purchase 7,879 shares of Common Stock. In addition, each director who
serves on a Committee of the Board of Directors receives an option to purchase
945 shares of the Company's Common Stock annually and each Chairman of each such
Committee will receive an additional option to purchase 473 shares of the
Company's Common Stock annually. Such options vest on the earlier of (i) one
year from the date of grant or (ii) the next annual election of directors. Each
such option shall have a term of not more than ten years from the date of
vesting and the exercise price per share of Common Stock for such options shall
be 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined under the
terms of the Stock Option Plan.
 
     Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are nontransferable, other than
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during
the optionee's lifetime, only by the optionee, or in the event of optionee's
legal incapacity to do so, by the optionee's guardian or legal representative.

     On February 25, 1997, Sabratek acquired substantially all the assets of
Rocap for $100,000 in cash, 131,593 shares of Sabratek Common Stock (valued at
approximately $2.9 million), plus the assumption of net liabilities of
approximately $661,000 and the forgiveness of a bridge loan. In connection with
the acquisition, the former President of Rocap, who is also the majority
shareholder of Rocap, entered into a three-year employment agreement with
Sabratek. See "Management -- Employment Agreements." The number of shares to be
paid to Rocap may be increased based on the value of the Sabratek Common Stock

in lieu of delivery of the shares of Common Stock. As part of the transaction,
the former shareholders of Rocap received the right to have a registration
statement relating to the shares issued in the acquisition filed for their
benefit. In the event such registration statement is not declared effective by
the Commission on or before September 1, 1997, such former shareholders have the
right, exercisable from September 2, 1997 to September 15, 1997, to put such

     On September 23, 1994, the Company issued a warrant (the "MSI Warrant") to
MSI, Inc. which initially gave MSI, Inc., a subsidiary of Marsam Pharmaceuticals
Inc. of which Marvin Samson, a director of the Company, is President and a
director, the right to purchase up to 472,739 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock. On May 8, 1995, such portion of the rights under the MSI Warrant as was
necessary to acquire 84,043 shares of Series A Preferred Stock was transferred
to each of Charles K. Stewart Money Purchase Plan and John Stafford for
immediate exercise. In connection with the transfer, the Company entered into a
stock appreciation rights agreement with MSI, Inc. pursuant to which the Company
paid MSI, Inc. a stock appreciation payment in the amount of approximately
$800,000. Pursuant to the MSI Warrant, after giving effect to conversion of
Series A Preferred Stock to Common Stock, MSI, Inc. currently has the right to
purchase 318,668 shares of Common Stock at $4.55 per share.

Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 12,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par
value $0.01 per share. See "Risk Factors -- Influence of Limited Number of
Stockholders" and "-- Impact of Anti-Takeover Measures; Possible Issuance of

COMMON STOCK
 
     As of February 28, 1997, assuming no exercise of outstanding options or
warrants, there were 8,374,229 shares of Common Stock outstanding, held of
record by approximately 214 stockholders of record. The holders of the Common
Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to
receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out
of funds legally available therefor. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company, holders of the Common Stock are entitled to share
ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities. The
outstanding shares of the Common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. No
preemptive rights, conversion rights, redemption rights or sinking fund
provisions are applicable to the Common Stock.
 
WARRANTS
 
     As of February 28, 1997, there were warrants outstanding to purchase
544,430 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $5.36 per
share. The warrants were issued in exchange for services or in connection with
the issuance of debt securities by the Company. All of the warrants are
currently exercisable. The warrants will expire by their terms at times ranging
from April 18, 1997 to September 6, 2001.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
   
     The Company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the
"Registration Rights Agreement") which may, in certain circumstances, be
applicable to the holders of the equivalent of approximately 1,442,752 shares of
Common Stock. As part of this Offering, the Company is registering the sale of
478,493 of such shares. As such, following the Offering 964,259 shares of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock will continue to have the benefit of
Registration Rights. Persons who own shares of Common Stock which will have the
benefit of Registration Rights following this Offering are hereinafter referred
to as "Rights Holders." In order for the Rights Holders to effect a demand for
registration, the Registration Rights Agreement requires that the holders of
more than 25% of all of the shares held under the Registration Rights Agreement
request such registration. An unlimited number of demands may be made; however,
the Company has an obligation to complete only two registrations at the demand
of Rights Holders. In addition to demand registration rights, Rights Holders
have unlimited "piggyback" registration rights pursuant to which the Rights
Holders will have the right to request that the Company register shares of
Common Stock under the Act at the expense of the Company, unless in connection
with an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter is of the opinion
that inclusion of the shares of Common Stock to which the Rights Holders request
registration would have an adverse impact on the marketing of the securities to
be sold in such public offering.
    
 
     The Company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Rocap,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to register on Form S-3 in a delayed or
continuous offering (a "Shelf Registration"), 131,593 shares of Common Stock of
the Company, which were distributed to Rocap in connection with the Company's
acquisition of Rocap. Such Shelf Registration would permit the registration of
such securities for resale by Rocap or the Rocap shareholders to whom such
shares may be distributed (the "Rights Holders"). In the event a Shelf
Registration is not permitted under the Securities Act, the Company agreed to
provide alternative registration rights to the Rights Holders. Rights Holders
also have "piggyback" registration rights pursuant to which the Rights Holders
will have the right to require the Company to register shares of Common Stock
held by the Rights Holders on any Registration Statement being filed by the
Company, unless in connection with an underwritten public offering, the managing
underwriter is of the opinion that inclusion of
 
                                       47
<PAGE>   52
 
such shares of Common Stock would have an adverse impact on the marketing of the
securities to be sold for the benefit of the Company in such public offering.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
     The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock is LaSalle National
Bank, Chicago, Illinois.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
   
     Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have approximately
10,266,028 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Of these shares, the 2,178,493
shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering and the 2,875,000 shares of Common
Stock sold by the Company in its initial public offering in June, 1996, will be
freely tradable without restriction under the Act, unless held by "affiliates"
of the Company (as that term is defined in the Act and regulations promulgated
thereunder).
    
 
     The shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Company's
initial public offering were acquired by existing stockholders without
registration under the Act in reliance upon exemptions from registration and are
"restricted securities" for purposes of the Act. The "restricted securities" may
not be sold unless they are registered under the Act or unless an exemption from
registration, such as the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Act, is
available.
 
     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a stockholder (or
stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned "restricted
securities" for at least two but less than three years (at least one year but
less than two years beginning April 29, 1997), and any affiliate of the Company
who has owned shares for at least two years (one year beginning April 29, 1997),
is entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does
not exceed the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock or the average weekly trading volume in the Company's Common Stock on the
Nasdaq National Market during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Such
sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain provisions regarding the manner
of sale, notice requirements and the availability of current public information
about the Company. A stockholder who is not an affiliate of the Company at the
time of the sale and for at least 90 days prior to a proposed transaction and
who has beneficially owned "restricted securities" for at least three years (two
years beginning April 29, 1997) is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144
without regard to the limitations described above.
 
     The Company, all Selling Stockholders, all directors, certain officers, and
certain other stockholders have agreed not to offer, pledge, issue, sell,
contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose or
announce any offer, sale, grant of any option to purchase or other disposition
of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock, or any securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, until 90 days, or 60 days in
the case of certain stockholders, following the date of the final prospectus
relating to the Offering without the prior written consent of Bear, Stearns &
Co. Inc. ("Bear, Stearns"), subject to certain exceptions (the "Lock-up
Agreements").
 
     On October 2, 1996, the Company's registration statement on Form S-8 under
the Act to register all of the shares of Common Stock issued or reserved for
future issuance under the Stock Option Plan and certain other options currently
outstanding to employees of the Company became effective. After the effective
date of that registration statement, but subject to the provisions of applicable
Lock-up Agreements, shares purchased upon exercise of options covered by such
registration statement generally would be available for resale in public market.
 
   
     On the anticipated Effective Date, all except 840,789 shares of Common
Stock not issued in a public offering will be eligible for sale or have already
been sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Act. Shares subject to the
Lock-up Agreements may become available for sale upon the expiration of such
lock-ups.
    
 
     The holders of certain of the Company's outstanding securities also have
the benefit of a Registration Rights Agreements which provide that, subject to
certain conditions, certain holders of the Company's
 
                                       48
<PAGE>   53
 
outstanding securities have rights with respect to registration under the Act.
See "Description of Capital Stock -- Registration Rights."
 
     Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market, or the
perception that such sales could occur, could have an adverse impact on the
market price of Common Stock.
 
                                  UNDERWRITING
 
   
     Subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the Underwriting

"Underwriters"), for whom Bear, Stearns, Salomon Brothers Inc, Smith Barney Inc.

</TABLE>
    
 
     The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters to purchase shares of Common Stock are subject to approval of
certain legal matters by counsel and to certain other conditions precedent. If
any of the shares of Common Stock are purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to
the Underwriting Agreement, all such shares of Common Stock (other than shares
of Common Stock covered by the over-allotment option described below) must be so
purchased.
 
     The Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Act,
or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make in
respect thereof.
 
     The Company has been advised by the Representatives that the Underwriters
propose to offer the Common Stock to the public initially at the price set forth
on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers (who may include the
Underwriters) at such price less a concession not to exceed $     per share. The
Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may allow, discounts not in excess of
$     per share to any Underwriter and certain other dealers.
 
   
     The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an
aggregate of 326,774 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering
price less underwriting discounts and commissions solely to cover
overallotments. Such option may be exercised at any time until 30 days after the
date of the final Prospectus relating to the Offering. To the extent that the
Underwriters exercise such option, each of the Underwriters will be committed,
subject to certain conditions, to purchase a number of option shares
proportionate to such Underwriters' initial commitment as indicated in the
preceding table.
    
 
     The Company, all Selling Stockholders, all directors, certain officers and
certain other stockholders have agreed not to offer, pledge, issue, sell,
contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose (or announce
any offer, sale, grant of any option to purchase or other disposition) of any
shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or
exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock for a period of
 
                                       49
<PAGE>   54
 
60 or 90 days after the date of the final Prospectus relating to the Offering,
without the prior written consent of Bear, Stearns.
 
     The Underwriters do not intend to sell shares of Common Stock to any
account over which they exercise discretionary authority.
 
   
     Stephen Raphael, an employee and director of Bear, Stearns, beneficially
owns 10,505 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
    
 
   
     In order to facilitate this Offering, the Underwriters may engage in
transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the
Common Stock. Specifically, the Underwriters may over-allot in connection with
this Offering, creating a short position in the Common Stock for their own
account. The Representatives may elect to reduce any short position by
exercising all or part of the over-allotment option described above. In
addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the Common
Stock, the Representatives may bid for, and purchase, shares of Common Stock in
the open market. Finally, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling
concessions allowed to an Underwriter or a dealer for distributing the Common
Stock in this Offering, if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed
Common Stock in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in
stabilization transactions or otherwise.
    
 
   
     In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to
reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than
it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid
might also have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were
to discourage resales of the security.
    
 
   
     Neither the Company nor any of the Underwriters makes any representation or
prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions
described above may have on the price of the Common Stock. In addition, neither
the Company nor any of the Underwriters makes any representations that the
Representatives will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once
commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
    
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
     Certain legal matters in connection with the shares of Common Stock of the
Company offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Ross & Hardies,
Chicago, Illinois. A partner of Ross & Hardies beneficially owns 64,079 shares
of the Company's Common Stock. O'Sullivan Graev & Karabell, LLP, New York, New
York, has acted as counsel to the Underwriters in connection with the Offering.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
Sabratek Corporation:
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sabratek Corporation as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Sabratek Corporation as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
     Sabratek Corporation (the "Company") designs, manufactures and markets
programmable electronic intravenous infusion pumps, disposable intravenous
administration sets, integrated software, and related accessories. Sales of the
products are made through distributors as well as the Company's own
representatives.
 
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  (a) Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenues are recognized when products are shipped with allowances for
discounts and estimated returns recorded at the time of sale. Contract revenue
from research agreements is recorded when earned and as the related costs are
incurred. Payments received which are related to future performance are deferred
and recognized as revenue when earned over future performance periods.
 
  (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     Cash and cash equivalents represent funds in demand deposit accounts, money
market accounts and short-term bond mutual funds. Also included are U.S.
Treasury Bills and U.S. Treasury Notes to the extent they mature within 90 days.
 
  (c) Short-term and Long-term Investment in Marketable Securities
 
     Short-term and long-term investments in marketable securities are
classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair market value.
Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and
are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.
 
  (d) Inventories
 
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost
is determined under the first-in, fist-out ("FIFO") method.
 
  (e) Property, Plant and Equipment
 
     Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is provided on a
straightline basis over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives
of the machinery and equipment range from 3 to 5 years. The estimated useful
lives of office furniture, fixtures and equipment is 7 years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the life of the lease.
 
  (f) Research and Development
 
     Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and
development costs amounted to $969,059, $2,193,508 and $1,098,167 in 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively.
 
  (g) Patents
 
     Patents costs in progress are amortized over 16 years. The Company has
assessed that no permanent impairment of the value of the asset has occurred.
Such assessment includes consideration of possible obsolescence, demand, new
technology, competition, and other pertinent economic factors and trends that
may have an impact on the value or remaining lives of the asset.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  (h) Warranty
 
     The provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale
and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience.
 
  (i) Income Taxes
 
     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
 
  (j) Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  (k) Computation of Net Loss Per Share
 
     Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding with common equivalent shares from stock options and warrants
excluded because their effect is antidilutive. Pursuant to Securities and
Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83, options and warrants, and
convertible debt granted or issued by the Company during the twelve month period
immediately preceding the initial public offering of the Company's common stock
have been included in the calculation of common shares as if they had been
outstanding for all periods presented. The net loss per share for the year ended
December 31, 1995 has been presented on a pro forma basis in lieu of historical
net loss per share as such historical information is not meaningful due to the
conversion of preferred stock and debt in connection with the Company's initial
public offering.
 
  (l) Reclassifications
 
     Certain amounts for the year ended December 31, 1995 were reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.

convertible into one share of common stock for every $5.24 of principal and

     In January, 1996, the Company issued a convertible subordinated debenture
to a director of the Company in the amount of $100,000 at an interest rate of
10%, until due at June 30, 1996. After June 30, 1996, the debenture would have

in the aggregate, upon the Offering. The conversion rate included a conversion

     In July, 1996, the Company paid, in full, stock appreciation rights
totaling $1,628,463 in aggregate, which were issued pursuant to three separate
agreements during 1995. The agreements provided for a maximum appreciation of
$4.76 per share and required payment at the time of certain qualifying events,
or upon demand of the holder. The obligation created with respect to the
agreements resulted in a non-recurring charge to other income (expenses) in the
Statement of Operations for 1996.
 
(15) BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS
 
     As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, individual customers representing at

sales from international markets for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Customers are not concentrated in any specific geographic
location. The customer base is very specific, however, to the health care
industry as the Company's products are used primarily by hospitals and alternate
site healthcare settings such as nursing homes and clinics.
 
(16) RETIREMENT PLAN
 
     The Company implemented a defined contribution plan during 1995 pursuant to
section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, whereby participants may contribute
a percentage of compensation, but not in excess of the maximum allowed under the
Code. The Plan includes a discretionary employer matching contribution program
as determined by the Board of Directors. In 1996 and 1995, no matching
contributions were made to Plan participants' accounts.

     In 1994, 635,815 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock were issued

(18) STOCK OPTIONS
 
     The Company adopted the Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Option Plan (the
Stock Option Plan) which provided for the granting of stock options to
employees, nonemployee consultants, and directors of the Company. Options vest
over various periods as defined in the agreements and expire as determined by
the Board on an individual basis, but not to exceed 10 years. Total shares of
common stock reserved at December 31, 1996 for issuance on the exercise of stock
options was 1,773,668.
 
     The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its Stock Option Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recorded. Had compensation cost for the Company's Stock Option Plan been
determined consistent with FASB Statement No. 123, the Company's net loss and
loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated
below.
 
     The compensation cost of each option grant is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1995.

     Pro forma net loss and loss per share reflect only options granted in 1996
and 1995. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock
options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net loss amounts
presented above because compensation cost is reflected over the options' vesting
period of up to 4 years and compensation cost for options granted prior to
January 1, 1995 is not considered.

(20) INCOME TAXES
 
     A deferred tax asset stemming from the Company's net operating loss
carryforward, research and development credit carryforward, and other accruals
has been reduced by a valuation account to zero due to uncertainties regarding
the utilization of the deferred assets. The deferred tax asset and the
corresponding valuation allowance were approximately $5,851,000 and $5,201,542
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
     The sale of the Company's common stock will result in an ownership change
for the Company, as defined for tax purposes. As a result an annual limitation
will be placed on the utilization of the existing net operating loss
carryforwards and credit carryforwards. This limitation may cause a portion of
the existing net operating loss and credit carryforwards to expire prior to
utilization.
 
     The net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards
will expire as follows:

(22) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
  Acquisition
 
     In February, 1997, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of
Rocap, Inc., a Massachusetts company which produces various types of
pre-packaged syringes. Consideration paid by the Company is summarized as
follows:
 
        (1) $100,000 cash.
 
        (2) Forgiveness of $300,000 in debt, owed to the Company in the form of
            a bridge loan agreement entered into on January 15, 1997.
 
        (3) Assumption of approximately $661,000 in net liabilities.
 
        (4) $2,900,000 in cash or stock of the Company.
 
     The stock value as determined by the Asset Purchase Agreement for payment
in shares was $22.0375 per share and, as such, 131,593 shares are held in
escrow. The final number of Company shares deliverable to Rocap, Inc. will be
determined by the Company's stock price at July 1, 1997. The Company has the
option to pay in cash, rather than shares.
 
     In February, 1997, the Company granted stock options to two former Rocap,
Inc. employees, one of which was elected an officer of the Company. In
aggregate, 220,000 option shares were granted at an exercise price of $22.25,
under the Company's Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Option Plan. The stock
options vest over a period of 3 to 4 years. Pursuant to the officer's employment
agreement, the Company could be obligated to purchase 100,000 option shares at
$18.00 each.
 
  Litigation
 
     On February 5, 1997, SIMS Deltec filed a complaint (the "Complaint") in the
United States District Court for the District of Minnesota alleging that
Sabratek's manufacture, use and/or sale of the MediVIEW software in conjunction
with its infusion pumps infringes on a patent entitled "Systems and Methods for
Communicating with Ambulatory Medical Devices Such as Drug Delivery Devices"
previously issued to SIMS Deltec. The Complaint seeks injunctive relief,
unspecified monetary damages and costs. The Company has not yet formally
responded to the Complaint but intends to vigorously defend against the
allegations contained in the Complaint. Although the outcome of these
proceedings cannot be determined, management believes that the outcome should
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.
 
  Credit Facility
 
     The Company received a commitment for a credit facility with up to $9.5
million of available borrowings. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at
the bank's prime rate and the facility matures in April, 1999. No amounts have
been borrowed under this facility.

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ROCAP, Inc. (an S

accumulated deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our

our audit.
 
     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of ROCAP, Inc. as of December
31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Nature of Organization
 
     The Company was incorporated in 1994 under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The Company has developed an alternative for the in-hospital
pharmacy production process for mixing and packaging pharmaceuticals into
dilutent solutions for intravenous administration.
 
  Basis of Accounting
 
     The Company maintains its records on the accrual basis of accounting.
 
  Accounts Receivable
 
     An allowance for uncollectible accounts in the amount of $50,000 has been
provided at December 31, 1996.
 
  Inventory
 
     Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market on the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) basis.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed in
accordance with the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) using
various methods and lives as provided in the Internal Revenue Code. Maintenance
and repairs are charged to operations when incurred while significant renewals
and betterments are capitalized.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The shareholders of the Corporation elected to have the Corporation taxed
as a "S Corporation" for federal and state tax reporting purposes. As such, the
net income of the corporation is taxed at the shareholder level, thereby
eliminating the liability for federal and state corporate income taxes.
 
  Cash Equivalents
 
     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Corporation considers all
short-term instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 1996.
 
  Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. PREPAID EXPENSES
 
     Prepaid expense at December 31, 1996 consists of prepaid insurance.

The Proforma adjustments reflect the following:
 
(1)  On February 25, 1997, the company consummated an agreement to acquire the
     assets of Rocap. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
     method of accounting. The total purchase price of $3,450,000 was paid for
     in a combination of Sabratek stock (assumed to be 131,593 shares currently
     held in escrow) and cash. In addition, Sabratek assumed $661,000 in net
     liabilities. An allocation of the purchase price has been made based upon
     the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in excess of the
     purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired of
     $4,111,000 recorded as goodwill.
 
(2)  Represents amortization, on a straight line basis over 15 years, of the
     goodwill arising out of Rocap.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
     The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
for indemnification to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of
Delaware against and with respect to threatened, pending or completed actions,
suits or proceedings arising from or alleged to arise from, a party's actions or
omissions as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any
other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise which
has served in such capacity at the request of the Company if such acts or
omissions occurred or were or are alleged to have occurred, while said party was
a director or officer of the Company; provided, however, the Company shall not
indemnify any director or officer in an action against the Company unless the
Company shall have consented to such action. Generally, under Delaware law,
indemnification will only be available where an officer or director can
establish that he/she acted in good faith and in a manner which was reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.
 
     Section 145 of the Delaware Law provides that a corporation may indemnify a
director, officer, employee or agent made a party to an action by reason of the
fact that such person was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses
actually incurred by such person in connection with such action if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interest of the corporation with respect to any
criminal action, and had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. Delaware Law does not permit a corporation to eliminate a director's
duty of care, and the provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation have no effect on the availability of equitable
remedies such as injunction or rescission, based upon a director's breach of the
duty of care. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions and agreements, the Company has
been informed that in the opinion of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
 
     On February 25, 1997, the Company issued 131,593 shares of Common Stock
valued at $3,043,088 to Rocap as partial consideration for the acquisition of
substantially all of the assets of Rocap. This sale was exempt from registration
in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Act.
 
     On September 6, 1996, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 50,000
shares of Common Stock at $13.00 per share to a customer. This warrant vested
immediately and is exercisable for a period of 5 years and

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
provided to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
 
     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
     of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
     of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
     a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
     (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
     prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
     the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
