I've used a CPAP for many years and I have never seen one with a label saying it is FAA compliant. I've also asked flight attendants over the years and have consistantly been told they are not allowed. I recommend taking the applicable part of the International Contract of Carriage with you.

Please post how it goes with your flight and the CPAP. I would love to be able to use mine on intercontinental flights.
