What are the rules for medical carry-ons?
I think as long as its in its own designated bag you're ok. For example, you can't carry on a second roller board by stating that there's a cpap in it. It's got to be in its own specific case. I've seen people with a small tote filled completely with medications that the agents have let slide, even though they aren't technically medical equipment.

DL has a clearly-delineated policy as to when one gets an extra bag and what the limits on that extra bag are. If you are in 100% compliance, just ask the GA for a red coat.

DL does not distinguish. However, depending on your destination and any country at which you may stopover or connect, you may want to consider whether the items you are carrying are subject to any restrictions.
