Techniques are described for detecting removal of a medical device from a station and activating an alarm in response to the detected removal. More specifically, the station includes a detector that detects removal of the medical device and causes the alarm to activate upon detecting the removal. For example, the station may include an optical detector that receives an optical signal from a light transmitter on the medical device. When the optical detector does not receive a signal from the medical device, the optical detector sends a signal to activate the alarm. The optical detector may, for example, not receive an optical signal when the medical device is too far from the optical detector or oriented in an improper direction. The sensitivity of the detector may further be calibrated to allow different detection ranges to be defined for the station.
