Summary:A injection system having a syringe body which defines a pumping chamber. A syringe plunger is located in the pumping chamber and is adapted for reciprocal motion within the pumping chamber. The syringe plunger includes a capture member projecting outwardly in a proximal direction. An actuating shaft is coupled to the syringe plunger and is movable through the syringe body to control movement of the syringe plunger. The capture member is adapt ed to flex radially outwardly when contacted by the actuating shaft to form a releasable engagement with the actuating shaft when the actuating shaft and the capture member are in an engagement position. A release actuator is disposed proximal to the syringe body, and the capture member releases the actuating shaft upon engagement with the release actuator.
