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. 

If you have any questions, please contact your 

local Human Care office or distributor.
