Can I Bring Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device on a Plane to Canada?

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device
Allowed
According to CATSA guidelines, the distilled water used by this device is exempted from the liquid restrictions. In order to have a CPAP device screened, passengers may choose to either: 1) bring a clear plastic bag to place the respiratory device into for screening or 2) leave the attachments (tubes and mask) inside the case and place the main electronic unit only in a bin. Documentation to support your medical needs or condition is not required; however, if you feel that it would help ease your screening, it should be presented to the screening officer along with your medically necessary items.
The final decision rests with the CATSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. Official CATSA Rules →
