1. A system for controlling a hemostasis valve comprising:
a hemostasis valve comprising:
a body portion having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end;
at least one valve positioned in the proximal end of the body portion; and
an engagement member operatively coupled to the at least one valve;
the body portion of the hemostasis valve being pivoted from a raised position to an-in use position,
a first drive member removably coupled to the engagement member as the body portion of the hemostasis valve is pivoted to the in-use position and uncoupled from the engagement member as the hemostasis valve is pivoted to the raised position; and
a controller coupled to the first drive member, the controller configured to control the first drive member to impart movement to the engagement member to open and close the at least one valve.
