Embodiments are described for engaging a pumping cartridge with a pump drive. In certain embodiments, the cartridge, including a cylinder and a movable piston assembly, is initially assembled or subsequently positioned so that the distance between the attachment point on the piston assembly for coupling to a drive assembly, and a reference point on the cylinder, is greater than the maximal distance that will be encountered during normal oscillation of the piston during use. The cartridge, in certain embodiments, may be pressed into a drive assembly that immobilizes the cartridge and couples the piston assembly to the driveshaft. In certain embodiments, when the cartridge is fully inserted into the drive assembly, the piston is pressed into the cylinder sufficiently to establish a selected distance so that the piston shaft is in the proper position to engage with a coupling mechanism carried on the driveshaft.

1. A reusable pump drive system, the system comprising: a pump cartridge having a piston assembly and a cylinder assembly, the piston assembly comprising a connecting region and a body region, the connecting region of the piston assembly comprising a piston shaft, the body region of the piston assembly comprising a body having a side wall, a check valve,a fluid inlet extending from outside the cylinder assembly through the side wall of the body to the check valve for introducing a fluid into the pump cartridge,a piston having a sealing flange, andan annular groove in an outer surface of the cylinder assembly,a drive shaft adapter having an inner radial cavity to receive a portion of the piston shaft, a first end portion, a second end portion and one or more piston shaft retaining components,a fixed guide member having an inner radial passage extending therethrough, anda pump cartridge cylinder retaining component having a distal engagement pin with an inner end sized and positionable to engage the annular groove on the cylinder assembly,wherein in a first position the pump cartridge cylinder retaining component retains the cylinder assembly in the inner radial passage and in a second position the pump cartridge cylinder retaining component allows insertion of the cylinder assembly into the inner radial passage or removal of the cylinder assembly from the inner radial passage. 2. The reusable pump drive system of claim 1, wherein the one or more piston retaining components comprises one or more tubular members. 3. The reusable pump drive system of claim 2, wherein at least one of the one or more tubular members has a rounded terminal end. 4. The reusable pump drive system of claim 2, wherein the one or more piston retaining components includes a lifting member coupled thereto for selectively engaging the one or more tubular members with an annular groove of the piston shaft. 5. The reusable pump drive system of claim 1, wherein the piston shaft includes an annular groove. 6. The reusable pump drive system of claim 5, wherein the one or more piston shaft retaining components engages with the annular groove to allow the pump cartridge and the drive shaft adapter to cooperatively move in a reciprocating motion. 7. The reusable pump drive system of claim 1, wherein the connecting region further comprises: a terminal knob,a groove,a shoulder, and the shaft. 8. The reusable pump drive system of claim 1, wherein the cylinder assembly comprises: a wall surrounding a cavity. 9. The reusable pump drive system of claim 8, wherein the cavity includes a proximal portion forming a piston storage region to accommodate a flange of the piston. 10. The reusable pump drive system of claim 1, wherein the fluid inlet extends from a first end formed by a fluid inlet port at the side wall of the body to a second end formed by the check valve. 11. The reusable pump drive system of claim 1, wherein the fluid inlet is configured to introduce a high pressure fluid from outside the pump cartridge. 12. The reusable pump drive system of claim 1, wherein the pump cartridge is configured to operate at a fluid pressure of at least 5,000 pounds per square inch. 13. The reusable pump drive system of claim 1, wherein the cylinder assembly defines a cavity therein, the cavity comprising an operating region in which the piston reciprocates during a pumping state, and a separate storage region at a proximal end of the cavity in which the piston is positioned during an inactive state to enable coupling of the one or more piston shaft retaining components to the piston shaft. 14. The reusable pump drive system of claim 13, wherein the drive shaft adapter is operable to reciprocate the piston in the operating region of the cavity during the pumping state, and to position the piston in the storage region of the cavity during the inactive state. 15. The reusable pump drive system of claim 13, wherein an inner surface of the storage region of the cylinder assembly comprises a relief configured to accommodate the flange of the piston assembly. 16. The reusable pump drive system of claim 13, wherein positioning of the piston in the storage region of the cylinder assembly enables coupling of the one or more piston shaft retaining components to the piston shaft regardless of a position of the drive shaft adapter. 17. The reusable pump drive system of claim 1, wherein the sealing flange includes an erodible sealing flange. 18. A reusable pump drive system, the system comprising: a pump cartridge having a piston assembly and a cylinder assembly, the piston assembly comprising a connecting region and a body region, the connecting region of the piston assembly comprising a piston shaft, the body region of the piston assembly comprising a body having a side wall, a check valve,a fluid inlet extending from outside the cylinder assembly through the side wall of the body to the check valve for introducing a fluid into the pump cartridge,a piston having a sealing flange, andan annular groove in an outer surface of the cylinder assembly,a drive shaft adapter having an inner radial cavity to receive a portion of the piston shaft, a first end portion, a second end portion and one or more piston shaft retaining components,a fixed guide member having an inner radial passage extending therethrough, anda pump cartridge cylinder retaining component with an inner end sized and positionable to engage the annular groove on the cylinder assembly,wherein in a first position the pump cartridge cylinder retaining component retains the cylinder assembly in the inner radial passage and in a second position the pump cartridge cylinder retaining component allows insertion of the cylinder assembly into the inner radial passage or removal of the cylinder assembly from the inner radial passage, the pump cartridge cylinder retaining component axially reciprocates along its longitudinal axis between the first position and the second position.
