A system for controlling 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, where the body portion is configured to pivot from a raised position to an-in use position. The system includes a drive member configured to couple to the engagement member as the body portion of the hemostasis valve pivots to the in-use position and to uncouple from the engagement member as the hemostasis valve pivots to the raised position, and a controller coupled to the drive member, the controller configured to control the drive member to impart movement to the engagement member to open and close the at least one valve.
