Tuesday I had to go to the V.A. hospital for some tests, and this class where they gave us a blood pressure monitor, and taught us how to use it.
It’s really pretty easy to use, it’s runs on batteries, and is pretty much all automatic, it even has a memory that saves all your readings..
So anyways.. I never even thought of this during the class and googled it and that didn’t help, so I am hoping one of you guys might have one and can help me.This afternoon I had it on my arm and it was doing it’s thing, getting all tight and throbbing like its supposed to, and I got to wondering,
would it hurt anything if I put it in hot water or the microwave for a few to get it nice and warm, then put it on another body part?
thanks for any help
the neck thing just made me want a cigarette but thanks

Risk of electrical shock.
Do not plug or unplug the power cord into the electrical outlet with wet hands.
Do not overload power outlets. Plug the device into the appropriate outlet.
Care and maintenance.
Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks, such as dropping the unit on the floor.
Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water.
Store the device and the components in a clean, safe location.
This device is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in the adult population. Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.
If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water. Contact a physician immediately. I hope this helps you. And good luck.
That will only work if the other body part is you neck for a long period of time!
