Zusammenfassung:	A guidewire (36) for a medical device is disclosed. The guidewire includes an elongate body (90), a proximal connector assembly (98), a corewire (52), and a sensor assembly (54). The body has an annular wall (94) that defines an interior lumen (96). The proximal connector assembly is coupled to the body and is configured for connection to a medical positioning system (20). The corewire extends through the lumen. The sensor assembly located on a distal end of the corewire is electrically connected to the proximal connector assembly. The sensor assembly is configured to generate an electrical signal indicative of a position of the sensor assembly in a reference coordinate system defined by the medical positioning system being electrically connected by a pair of conductors (74) and, an electrically insulating structure (76) that surrounds the corewire and insulates the corewire from the two pair of electrical conductors.
