Daisy,
Thanks for asking... i got a free one when I ordered a mask online; and there appears to be no standard generic form. But I did run across this: http://www.medids.com/free-id.php and you might like it. It has minimal 'branding', and you personalize it with your info.

Doubt it's necessary.

Myself, I travel with the pertinent portion of the CFR regarding my right to transport an electronic assistive breathing device pursuant to the Air Carrier Access Act tucked into my bag. It's 14 CFR 382, which can authoritatively be found here: http://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/382 See also the Notice regarding onboard use here: http://www.dot.gov/sites/dot.dev/files/ ... _28_09.pdf

I would use the phrase "electronic assistive breathing device" on any tag because it tracks the bureaucratese of the regs.

TSA materials can be handy to have on as well, e.g. you can make them change gloves before they start pawing at your machine.

Notification card to hand to TSA "discreetly" (their website actually says this!)

If the airline is naughty, here is how to complain:

I once had to show my PRESCRIPTION to the confused flight attendant on a domestic flight. I think she thought I had a ventilator.
