The Story
The MED-TAC International Premium Pulse Oximeter (MEDTAC1112) is a fingertip SpOâ‚‚ and pulse rate monitor for rapid, non-invasive oxygen saturation assessment. Ideal for tactical medics, EMS providers, and clinicians requiring a reliable, field-ready diagnostic tool for respiratory monitoring. Displays SpOâ‚‚ percentage and pulse rate simultaneously. Weight: 10 oz. Available at MED-TAC International.

Product Overview
Pulse oximetry is a foundational vital sign assessment in tactical medicine, EMS, and clinical care — providing immediate, non-invasive feedback on oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and heart rate without the need for arterial blood gas sampling or complex equipment. For tactical medics managing tension pneumothorax, airway compromise, respiratory distress, or hemorrhagic shock, pulse oximetry is a critical tool in the TCCC and MARCH/PAWS assessment framework.
The MED-TAC Premium Pulse Oximeter (MEDTAC1112) provides the reliability and display quality of a premium-tier fingertip oximeter in a compact, portable package. It delivers simultaneous SpO₂ and pulse rate readings quickly — enabling rapid triage decisions at the point of injury. The premium designation reflects enhanced display features and build quality compared to the standard MEDTAC1111 model, making it the preferred choice for tactical medics, flight crew, and providers who need confidence in their readings under field conditions.
A normal SpO₂ range is 95–100%. Readings below 95% warrant immediate investigation and intervention; readings below 90% indicate serious hypoxemia requiring oxygen delivery or airway management. Pulse oximetry data combined with respiratory rate, mental status, and mechanism of injury guides appropriate treatment escalation — from supplemental oxygen and airway adjuncts to chest decompression and emergent evacuation.
Clinical Use Cases
- Post-tourniquet circulation assessment (pulse distal to tourniquet)
- Respiratory monitoring in penetrating chest trauma
- Airway management confirmation after NPA/OPA placement
- Ongoing monitoring during prolonged field care (PFC)
- Opioid overdose monitoring (SpOâ‚‚ during and after Narcan administration)
- Heat illness assessment and vital sign trending
