An assembly insertable into a lumen of a patient including a motor housing having a motor contained therein, a motor shaft extending from the motor, a first coupler positioned at the motor shaft having a first magnet positioned therein adjacent a distal end, a rotational wire, and a second coupler positioned at a proximal portion of the thrombectomy wire. The second coupler has a second magnet positioned therein adjacent a proximal end. The second coupler is engageable with the first coupler to operably connect the rotational wire to the motor shaft, the first and second magnets providing an attractive force between the first and second couplers to maintain a connection of the first and second couplers so rotation of the first coupler rotates the second coupler.

1. An assembly insertable into a lumen of a patient, the assembly comprising: a motor housing having a motor contained therein;a motor shaft extending from the motor;a first coupler positioned at the motor shaft, the first coupler having a first magnet positioned therein adjacent a distal end;a rotational wire; anda second coupler positioned at a proximal portion of the rotational wire, the second coupler having a second magnet positioned therein adjacent a proximal end, the second coupler engageable with the first coupler to operably connect the rotational wire to the motor shaft, the first and second magnets providing an attractive force between the first and second couplers to maintain a connection of the first and second couplers so rotation of the first coupler rotates the second coupler. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein a distal end of the rotational wire is non-linear in configuration. 3. The assembly of claim 2, wherein the non-linear distal end of the rotational wire is J-shaped in configuration. 4. The assembly of claim 2, wherein the non-linear distal end of the rotational wire is sinuous shaped. 5. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first coupler has a plurality of recesses to form a female coupler and the second coupler has a plurality of projecting members to form a male coupler. 6. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first and second couplers are removably coupled. 7. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the motor housing includes a projecting member and a hub is positioned at a proximal portion of the rotational wire, the hub engaging with the projecting member to interlock the rotational wire and motor shaft. 8. The assembly of claim 7, wherein the hub includes a cutout forming a first abutment wall engageable with a second abutment wall on the projecting member. 9. The assembly of claim 7, wherein rotation of the motor shaft causes the hub to move from a first release position to a second interlocked position. 10. The assembly of claim 9, wherein reverse rotation of the hub moves the hub to the release position from the interlocked position to enable removal of the second coupler from the first coupler. 11. The assembly of claim 7, wherein the projecting member has an arrow-like configuration. 12. The assembly of claim 7, further comprising a second cutout in the hub and a second projecting member in the motor housing, the second cutout engageable with the second projecting member. 13. An assembly insertable into a lumen of a patient, the assembly comprising: a motor housing having a motor contained therein;a motor shaft extending from the motor;a first coupler positioned at the motor shaft;a rotational wire; anda second coupler positioned at a proximal portion of the rotational wire, the second coupler engageable with the first coupler to operably connect the rotational wire to the motor shaft, wherein prior to actuation of the motor the second coupler can be removed from the first coupler by application of an axial force and subsequent to actuation of the motor the second coupler cannot be removed from the first coupler by application of an axial force. 14. The assembly of claim 13, further comprising a hub at the proximal portion of the rotational wire, the hub having an engagement surface engageable with a surface within the motor housing such that application of the axial force cannot separate the second coupler from the first coupler. 15. The assembly of claim 14, wherein rotation of the hub in a direction opposite a direction of rotation of the motor shaft moves the hub to a position to enable removal of the second coupler by the axial force in a distal direction. 16. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the first coupler had a plurality of recesses to form a female coupler and the second coupler has a plurality of projecting members to form a male coupler. 17. A method for connecting a rotational wire to a motor assembly to perform a surgical procedure comprising the steps of providing a first coupler associated with a motor shaft;providing a wire assembly at a proximal portion of a rotational wire, the wire assembly including a second coupler;connecting the second coupler to the first coupler; andactuating a motor to rotate the wire assembly to move the wire assembly from a release position to an interlocked position with respect to the motor. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the step of connecting the second coupler to the first coupler includes inserting the second coupler and a portion of the rotational wire into a motor housing containing the motor. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the step of actuating the motor rotates the wire assembly so that an engagement surface engages a blocking surface within the motor housing.
