1. A wireless medical device, comprising:
- a medical sensor, wherein the medical sensor is a wireless thermometer probe;
an operational state module configured to;
monitor and store a status of operational states of the wireless medical device;
determine when the wireless medical device is removed from the docking station;
determine when the wireless medical device is used to record a temperature measurement; and
determine when the wireless medical device is returned to the docking station;
a communication module configured to;
communicate with a docking station; and
determine a distance between the wireless medical device and the docking station;
a mating module configured to associate an identifier for the wireless medical device with an identifier for the docking station;
an alarm module configured to activate an alarm based on data obtained by at least one of;
