Description
The Bionix Replacement Scale for B4000 restores the force measurement used in the B4000 Zone 1 and Zone 2 entrapment tests. It is the genuine replacement scale for the bed system measurement device, sold individually.
- 12 lb force – restores objective Zone 1 and 2 testing
- Genuine part – the scale listed for the B4000 device
- Part-level fix – no full device replacement needed
The Force Behind Zones 1 and 2
In B4000 testing, the scale is what makes the Zone 1 and Zone 2 measurements objective: it applies 12 pounds of force so the cone test reads the same way for every assessor. A worn or damaged scale quietly undermines that objectivity. This replacement returns the device to specification without replacing the whole measurement system. Bionix lists the replacement scale on its B4000 calibration page, alongside the annual calibration service performed by its technical services team. Calibration itself is a service and is priced separately from this part. Facilities running documented entrapment programs keep the scale current so their pass and fail records stay defensible.

Why Facilities Keep the Scale Current
An entrapment program is only as credible as its measurements. When the force behind two of the four zone tests drifts, every result it touches is questionable, and a genuine scale fixes that for the price of a part.
- Objective results restored – Zone 1 and 2 tests read true again
- Program credibility – documented pass and fail results stay defensible
- Low cost fix – a part replacement instead of a new device
- Calibration ready – pairs with the annual Bionix calibration service

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the replacement scale do?
It applies the 12 lbs of force used in the B4000 Zone 1 and Zone 2 entrapment tests, keeping those measurements objective.
Does buying the scale include calibration?
No. Calibration is a separate annual service through Bionix technical services.
Which device does this scale fit?
It is the replacement scale for the B4000 Bed System Measurement Device only.
Why does the force matter?
The Zone 1 and Zone 2 tests rely on a consistent 12 lb force application. A worn scale makes those readings unreliable.
Where is calibration performed?
Calibration is performed by Bionix technical services when the device is sent in for its annual calibration.
