Slings

Compatibility

Human Care Group slings are designed for use
with all Human Care lifts and hanger bars. The
products are also compatible with products of
other suppliers utilizing the same attachment
method for securing slings to a hanger bar and
lift. However, due to the wide range of products
worldwide, Human Care cannot be responsible
for any errors that may result from improper
use or application of combinations of slings,
hanger bars and lifts of other suppliers. The use
of the combined system is at the prescriber's
own risk and liability.
To ensure the safety of the client and caregiver,
Human Care recommends the following mini-
mum requirements:
1. When using slings with lifts and hang-
er bars, made by manufacturers other
than Human Care, the combined system
needs to be designed with the same sling
attachment method for the hanger bar of
floor lifts and ceiling lifts, meaning loop
style slings are combined with a loop style
hanger bar, clip style slings are combined
with a clip style hanger bar.
2. The involved patient lifts and sling must be
CE marked in accordance with the medical
device directive, MDD 93/42/
EEG and/or MDR 2017/75 and comply
10 www.humancaregroup.com
with standard requirements for patient lifts
as stated in EN ISO 10535.
3. The caregiver must follow the manufactu-
rer's instruction manuals and recommen-
dations with respect to the use, care,
client, caregiver, cleaning, and inspection
of the slings and lifts.
4. Different products on the assembled lift
system: i.e., lift, hanger bar, sling, scale and
other accessories may have different max.
loads. It is always the lowest maximum
allowable load indicated for the respective
products and the system that applies for
the entire system.
Always check the markings on all individual
products in the system.
5. Individual risk assessment, including a
practical test of the system and validation
with the specific combination used are
required to affirm that the size of the sling
is correct for the intended use and compa-
tible to the width and design of the hanger
bar. The combined system needs to be
documented by the competent assessor.
