I carried my Cpap device to/from USA with no problems. I contacted the airline in advance to enquire as I'd not done this before and - like you - I was unsure of the procedure. Without any hesitation they updated my booking to two pieces of hand luggage (one medical). Cabin crew too were helpful and asked if I needed to sit near a power outlet.
At TSA and in UK when asked about the machine, no one did more than check that it was what I said it was. In fact one agent was jealous that I had such a new model (thanks NHS !). Maybe give the airline a call to see if they have any specific advice?

This is an extract from TSA website (link below)

"Individuals with disabilities or medical conditions, who use medical devices should not think of a TSA checkpoint as a barrier to travel. It’s okay to bring along a CPAP machine or a breast pump. Yes, passengers can travel with an insulin pump or an ostomy pouch. If an individual has a temporary medical condition, perhaps a broken leg, it does not prevent him from getting through a checkpoint." Some contact phone numbers there as well: https://www.tsa.gov/news/releases/2017/05/23/tsa-shares-tips-travelers-disabilities-medical-devices-medical-conditions

Hope this helps.
