Claim 10:
11. A catheter assembly, comprising:
an elongate catheter body having a distal end insertable into a patient, and a proximal end opposite the distal end;
a flow diverter coupled to the proximal end of the elongate catheter body, the flow diverter comprising:
a chamber in fluid communication with a fluid channel extending distally through the elongate catheter body;
a driven magnet mechanically coupled to a drive shaft extending through the elongate catheter body; and
a flow diverter interface adjacent the driven magnet; and

a motor comprising:
a motor housing;
a rotor and a stator disposed within the motor housing, the rotor configured to turn in response to a stator current conducted through the stator;
a drive magnet disposed within the motor housing and mechanically coupled to the rotor; and
a motor housing interface adjacent the drive magnet and comprising a securement device configured to engage the flow diverter interface to position the driven magnet relative to the drive magnet such that the driven magnet is electromagnetically coupled to the drive magnet.
