10 . The system of claim 4 , wherein:

the wireless accessory further comprises a first display;

the medical device further comprises a second display; and

the processor is further configured to cause a prompt to be displayed on the first display or on the second display that prompts a user to dock the wireless accessory in order to upload the data.

11 . A system comprising:

a medical device comprising an accessory dock having at least one docking receptacle configured to receive a wireless accessory; and

the wireless accessory comprising a battery and a transceiver, wherein the wireless accessory is configured to:

dock in the at least one docking receptacle;

pair with the medical device upon being positioned within a threshold distance of the medical device; and

communicate wirelessly with the medical device via the transceiver after pairing with the medical device,

wherein the medical device further comprises a processor configured to:

determine an amount of data collected by the wireless accessory; and

based on the amount of the data satisfying a threshold amount of the data, wait to upload the data to a remote computing system until at least one of:

determining that the wireless accessory is docked in the at least one docking receptacle; or

determining that a charge level of the battery satisfies a threshold charge level.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the wireless accessory is configured to pair with the medical device upon the wireless accessory being docked in the at least one docking receptacle.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein:

pairing the wireless accessory with the medical device comprises the medical device and the wireless accessory exchanging pairing information; and

at least some of the pairing information is usable by the medical device and the wireless accessory to communicate wirelessly after the wireless accessory is undocked.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the wireless accessory is further configured to receive power from the medical device upon being positioned within the threshold distance, or a different threshold distance, of the medical device to charge the battery.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the power is received upon the wireless accessory being docked in the at least one docking receptacle.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein:
