Smart Vest and Airline travel

I'm concerned about lifting the smart vest motor overhead and then there's the extra bag with hose etc. Is that considered medical or a normal carryon?
Then there's the getting to the airport and then to the hotel dragging those along with luggage. Its making me rethink travelling. Any tips?

For travel, I put my hillrom vest in a better travel bag, a regular rollerboard, which makes it easier to lug around.

Medical equipment, clearly marked, does not count as a piece of luggage, carry-on or otherwise. But I too would be concerned about the lifting if traveling alone. Can you leave the vest behind for a few days?
