ReTurn7500 and ReTurn7400 are used indoors for shorter transfers between wheelchair and bed, wheelchair and toilet/
portable toilet/wheelchair or chair/armchair. ReTurn7500 and ReTurn7400 can also be used to aid repositioning farther
back in the chair. Both models are designed for easy manoeuvring and use in confined spaces. They are easy to assemble
and disassemble in just two sections for easier transport and storage. ReTurn7500 is available in two versions. One model
has an opening at the upper vertical handle for hooking of ReTurnBelt. ReTurn7400 is lower than ReTurn7500 and is
designed mainly for children and short adults.
SystemRoMedic is a series of different models of transfer assistive devices. The choice of assistive devices depends on
the transfer situation and the patient’s functional capability and needs.

To transfer with ReTurn, the patient must be able to:
• support weight while standing
• stand up and maintain balance (with support)
• grasp handles
• understand instructions
NOTE! Increased tipping risk.
If ReTurn7400 is used for patients of normal height, it is essential that the patient
can support his/her weight while standing and can maintain balance for a pro-
longed period.
A. Push the rising ladder/tube down into the mounting fixtures on the chas-
sis, so that the height-adjustment buttons are facing towards the caregiver.
B. Insert the fixture knobs and tighten. Check to ensure that the fixture
knobs are securely tightened before using the ReTurn.
Assembly
Transport
The chassis and raising ladder can be carried separately. Carry the chassis by hold-
ing the tube on the front end of the product.
Transport, e.g., by car, and storage are easy, since the ReTurn can be disassembled
in two pieces.
Special requirements and conditions
• ReTurn is intended for shorter transfers.
•Return can only be used on flat floor.
• The caregiver must always apply counter pressure in a safe way
when the patient is standing up, sitting down and during the actual
transfer.
Note! Always perform a risk assessment before using ReTurn.

Chassis and placement of feet
The feet are placed one on either side, see foot markings on base plate.
The patient’s weight must be centred on the product’s support surface (all weight between
the wheels); i.e., the patient must be in a standing position. The patient’s weight must not
be outside of the support surface.
Brakes
There is a brake for each wheel. With your foot, press down on the red marking on the brake
plate. Press all the way down.
To release the brake, press on the brake plate so that it resumes its original position (green
marking); ensure that the wheels roll freely.
Adjust the lower-leg support so that the upper edge of the plate is about 3 cm/two fingers
below the lower edge of the kneecaps. Pull the two pins to loosen. Adjust to the appropri-
ate height. Ensure that the pins lock securely into place. The lower-leg support can also be
adjusted laterally.

Testing standing function
ReTurn is ideal for testing a patient’s standing function in cases where there is
uncertainty as to whether the patient is able to rise from a seated to a standing
position.
Training standing function
ReTurn can be used to train the patient’s standing, sitting and sit-to-stand func-
tion. To measure improvement, use a stopwatch or clock with a second hand to
time the patient.
Farther back in the chair
If the patient slides forward in the wheelchair, the ReTurn can be used to help the
patient to slide farther back in the chair.
Remove/raise the wheelchair foot plates, and then run the ReTurn in towards the
wheelchair. The patient places his/her feet on the foot plate, grasps the raising
ladder, leans forward, and then lifts from the seat. The caregiver provides counter
pressure. Slide the patient farther back in the chair when he/she has lifted slightly
from the seat.

Brake the wheels on the ReTurn. The patient then leans forward and grasps the handles on the ReTurn. The caregivers
then grasp the handles on the ReTurnBelt.
ReTurnBelt allows different gripping alternatives, and helps and encourages the patient to lean forward.
One caregiver helps the patient to lean forward and provides support during raising.
Using ReTurnBelt together with ReTurn7500
See manual for ReTurnBelt.
ReTurnBelt is used for raising from a seated to a standing position, and for support in the standing position in combina-
tion with the use of ReTurn transfer platform. ReTurnBelt has a more rigid lower section for easy application and an
elastic upper section for a better and more comfortable fit. ReTurnBelt has several gripping alternatives and a locking
strap for extra support and safety in connection with the use of the ReTurn platform.

To toilet/shower chair
For transfers to the toilet, space is allowed for the caregiver to assist the patient with
the pants. The back also has a small recess that allows the patient to get close to the
toilet and achieve a good seated position.

Do not secure the clasp on the ReTurnBelt before rising. When the patient is in a standing position facing the ReTurn, the
strap can be placed around one of the vertical handles.
Secure the clasp on the ReTurnBelt. A click is heard when the clasp is secured. (Image 1)
ReTurn7500, with opening on the upper vertical handle:

secure position facing the ReTurn, so that
the locking strap is loosened.
