Medical supplies on board

I'm looking for what Alaska and Hainan say about it, ideally something I can print and bring along in case I get a GA that wants to make trouble.

Are you asking what medical supplies aircraft from those airlines routinely carry? I don't quite understand what the question is.

Here's Alaska's policy:

https://www.alaskaair.com/content/tr...xceptions.aspx

These items may be brought onboard without counting toward your carry-on limit.

Coats, hats, umbrellas (compact size that easily fits into an overhead bin, under the seat or in a suitcase)
A pillow for personal use
Food for immediate consumption
Reasonable amount of reading material
FAA approved child/infant restraint seats to be occupied by a child, strollers (based on space availability; space guaranteed only with the purchase of a ticket for the infant)
Service Animals, including properly documented emotional support animals
Mobility/Medical assistive devices such as wheelchairs, canes, crutches, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines, approved portable oxygen concentrators (POC) etc.
Prescription medications and any medical devices needed to administer them (for example: syringes, auto- injections) as long as they comply with applicable safety, security, and hazardous materials rules.
Note: To qualify as an exception to the carry-on limit, only medication and medical devices may be placed in the bag.

Luckily, you can also carry on human organs, too.

Yup, that's what I was looking for. Technically it could pose a problem as it's actually OTC, just rare enough to be mail order only. TSA has never given me trouble but Delta has and I want to be as prepared as possible.

Anyone got Hainan's? Chinese language is acceptable.
