While I agree with you that they should I don't think it can be expected for FAs to know the difference between a FAA (or the licensing body where the airline is from) approved and non-approved machine. If you made no steps to ensure that they know it's approved I think that falls back on you.
Calling in advance is not an impossible obstacle but it is inconvenient. I fly 2-3 time a month and log 250k+ miles a year. I'm the same person boarding the same airline with the same medical equipment every time. The motivation for my original question was to see if anyone has used a FREMEC to alleviate the need for calling before each flight.
