The Philips M1029A Temperature Parameter Module: essential for continuous, integrated patient monitoring
The Philips M1029A temperature module is an essential technological solution for the demanding requirements of thermal monitoring in critical care, operating theatres and intensive care units. By providing continuous measurement of core and peripheral body temperature, this module ensures rigorous monitoring of the patient's thermal status, enabling faster and more accurate decision-making in acute medical situations. Whether detecting fever, hypothermia or monitoring post-operative temperature changes, the M1029A allows you to act in real time and with high accuracy.
This device stands out for its ability to measure temperature at various body sites — skin, rectum, oesophagus, arteries or veins — over a range from -1°C to 45°C. This versatility allows caregivers to adapt the measurement site according to the condition, clinical procedures or department preferences. Up to four channels can be used simultaneously to compare core and peripheral temperatures, making thermal assessments much more informative. The digital display integrates seamlessly with all vital parameters visible on the patient monitor, ensuring clear, centralised reading.
The M1029A can be used as a stand-alone module or integrated into the Multi-Measurement Server and its extensions. This level of integration not only saves considerable space in environments that are often saturated with medical devices, but also offers flexibility of use: the module can be easily moved from one monitor to another without loss of information or the need for reconfiguration. Thanks to its compatibility with Philips reusable or single-use probes, as well as Foley catheters with integrated sensors, the M1029A meets the most demanding standards in terms of hygiene and clinical customisation.
The user interface is designed for maximum readability, with clear labels for each measurement site and alarms that can be set in 0.1°C increments. Medical staff can also choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit display units according to department preferences. Finally, the module's compatibility with IntelliVue, CMS, V24/V26 and M3/M4 monitors allows for seamless integration into the facility's existing technology infrastructure.
Beyond technology, Philips reaffirms its commitment to supporting healthcare professionals with reliable and innovative measurement solutions. The M1029A embodies this commitment by offering a measurement as old as medicine itself — temperature — but enhanced with all the modern intelligence required for precision medicine.
