Claim:
1. A medical device placement system, comprising: a medical device assembly including a medical device for placement within a body of a patient and a sensing component, the medical device assembly at least partially disposed in a sterile field, a first connector operably connected to the sensing component including a first contact; a data-receiving component at least partially disposed in a non-sterile field, a second connector operably connected to the data-receiving component including a second contact; and means for establishing a conductive pathway between the sterile field and the non-sterile field after the sterile field has been established by creating a perforation in a drape separating the sterile field and the non-sterile field with either the first connector or second connector so as to operably connect the sensing component to the data-receiving component without compromising the sterile field.
