No.
The x-ray scanners will not harm your CPAP device. However, Security may require you to show the medical statement from your physician verifying that you are carrying medical equipment. Make sure this is handy.
As a side note, I always separate my humidifier and pack the pump and humidifier in separate 1-gal plastic bags, sending both through the X-ray. I've never had any TSO inspect either piece. One did comment on the plastic bags. It seems most CPAP machines they see are sent through directly on the bin, and not in a protective bag. Yuck.
