1. A system for controllably administering fluid to a patient and/or for controllably withdrawing fluid from the patient, the system comprising:
a syringe comprising:
a plunger with a first mechanical interface; and
a syringe body for holding fluids; and
a pump comprising a second mechanical interface which interfaces with the plunger of said syringe via the first mechanical interface thereby to:
advance the plunger relative to the body of said syringe to controllably administer fluid to the patient; and
to retract the plunger of said syringe relative to the body of said syringe to controllably withdraw fluid from the patient, and
a hands free user input configured to connect to the pump and to allow a user to operate the pump to start and stop the translation of the plunger and also wherein the hands free user input is configured to allow the user to select and operate the pump to translate the plunger relative to the syringe body in two opposing directions,
wherein the syringe includes a mechanical connector configured such that the syringe is attachable to and detachable from the pump and wherein when detached or attached to the pump the plunger of the syringe may be operated manually by the user.
