Abstract
A catheter system including a housing and a first drive mechanism supported by the housing configured to impart movement to a first catheter device is provided. The first drive mechanism is moveable between an engaged position in which the first drive mechanism engages the first catheter device and a disengaged position in which the first drive mechanism does not engage the first catheter device. The catheter system includes a second drive mechanism supported by the housing configured to impart movement to a second catheter device. The second drive mechanism is moveable between an engaged position in which the second drive mechanism engages the second catheter device and a disengaged position in which the second drive mechanism does not engage the second catheter device. The catheter system includes a manual control configured to allow a user to manually move the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism between the engaged and disengaged positions. The first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism are also configured to be moved between the engaged and disengaged positions by an electronic actuator responsive to a user's activation of a control. The first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism are configured to be moved between the respective engaged and disengaged positions synchronized with each other.
