It could even just be a recolor, since I don't think the pod part actually does anything. But, ONLY ONE. If someone loses the remote, or goes back with it, or falls into lava, the rest are screwed. That way, expeditions have a convenient way back, but there's still danger, and the port-a-medbay remote might not be continuously stolen.
This.
There was a suggestion earlier that the port-a-medbay sees little use for actual medical purposes, and would be better replaced with 1 or 2 stretchers, which would have a constant flow of IV(i.e: salbutamol+ salicylic acid combo, as it would replace the CPR actions) and have a heart monitor. The injured would have to be dragged, but that's so much more fun than instant teleportation where the injured might be dead by the time you got back (read might: as almost always)
The port-a-med would could be renamed and recolored as a port-a-evac.

Everybody wins.
