Slings

Compatibility

Human Care Group interchangeable slings are
suitable for all Human Care lifts and hanger
bars. The products can also be used with prod-
ucts from other suppliers, which are equipped
with the same fastening method for attach-
ing slings to a hanger bar and lift. Due to the
wide range of products available worldwide,
Human Care cannot be held responsible for any
mistakes/defects that may result from incorrect
use or use of different combinations of slings,
hanger bars and lifts from other suppliers. The
use of a combined system is at the adviser's
own risk and liability.
In order to protect the safety of the client and
caregiver, Human Care recommends the follow-
ing minimum instructions are followed:
1. When using slings with lifts and hanger
bars made by manufacturers other than
Human Care, the combined system must
be designed with the same sling connec-
tion method for the hanger bar of mobile
lifts and ceiling lifts, i.e. strap loop slings
are used with a strap loop style hanger bar,
clip slings are used with a clip style hanger
bar.
2. The relevant patient lifts and slings must
be CE marked in accordance with the
Medical Devices Directive, MDD 93/42/EEC
and MDR 2017/745 and comply with the
standard requirements for patient lifts as
set out in EN ISO 10535.

3. The caregiver must follow the instructions
and recommendations set out in the
manufacturer's manuals with regard to the
use, care, client, caregiver, cleaning and
servicing of slings and lifts.
4. Different products on the assembled lift
system: i.e. lift, sling, hanger bar, scales,
and other accessories, may have a dif-
ferent maximum safe working load. The
lowest maximum working load of all the
individual products and the system will
always apply for the whole system.
Always check the labels on all individual
products in the system.
5. Individual risk assessment, including practi-
cal testing of the system and validation of
the specific combination used, is required
to confirm that the size of the sling is
correct for its intended use and compatible
with the width and design of the hanger
bar. The combined system must be docu-
mented by the competent prescriber.
