1. A system for a prosthetic device, the system comprising:
a delivery system configured to be hydraulically driven between a containment configuration for holding the prosthetic device and a deployment configuration for at least partially deploying the prosthetic device,
wherein the delivery system defines a hydraulic circuit including a first fluid pathway and a second fluid pathway,
wherein the delivery system is configured such that a hydraulic delivery of a deployment fluid along the first fluid pathway:
drives the delivery system from the containment configuration towards the deployment configuration, and
drives a stop pin from a first pin position in which the deployment fluid flows along the first fluid pathway to a second pin position in which the deployment fluid is blocked from flowing along the first fluid pathway, wherein when the stop pin is in the second pin position, the deployment fluid is directed through the second flow pathway.
