I have a Respironics BiPap S/T Series C, which looks exactly like the System One CPAP. I just tell them it's a System One CPAP. It makes things easier. Nothing is ever physically inspected or checked. I last flew UA longhaul in October. All FAs on my flights are clueless about them and want to know what they need to do to help. I always tell them the only thing I need is water because I can't use the humidifier and it is dehydrating to use one on a plane. They then give me my own liter bottle of water. ^
LH, however was very interested in the battery I was using on board and photographed it and emailed it to the Medical Desk when I checked in for my flight this month. They approved it.
