Zusammenfassung:	A stylet for placing a catheter in a vasculature of a patient is disclosed. The stylet can include an ECG sensor assembly having an electrode, a magnetic assembly producing a magnetic field, a core wire and a coil defining a lumen. A portion of the core wire can be disposed within the lumen of the coil. An intravascular catheter is disclosed that includes the stylet disposed within a lumen of the catheter. A method of placing a catheter within a superior vena cava of a patient is provided, including inserting the stylet within a lumen of the catheter, connecting the ECG sensor assembly to an ECG system, advancing the catheter along a patient vasculature, discontinuing advancement of the catheter upon an indication via an ECG signal that a tip of the stylet is disposed within the superior vena cava, and removing the stylet from the lumen of the catheter.
