In short

You can carry a cpap machine in cabin baggage. A CPAP or BiPAP machine is a medical device and should be carried in cabin baggage, where most airlines do not count it against your hand-baggage allowance. Take it out for separate X-ray screening. Any distilled water for it still follows the 100ml liquids rule.
