Yes, it is possible.... and perhaps more so with an S9 than other machines.
Yes, that blue eyed beauty is my cat! He is a seal point, bi-color Ragdoll. I adopted him in '08 from folks who could no longer care for him. He is a joy and makes me smile each and every day.

A few others have also reported that the machine seems stuck on a certain report night after night.
Try unplugging the machine from power source then plug it back in. This forces a reboot of the internal software.
Might help and won't hurt. While it is possible to have a 0.0 AHI and we like to see it, it might be unusual to see it night after night.

I get a 0.0 on average of about once per fortnight. My average is about 0.4, I'm pretty highly optimized.

BTW, I can usually tell that if I feel especially outstanding in the a.m. that I've had a 0.0 or 0.1 ahi night.

I'd say yes.....

I've been on CPAP for a year and in that time have had 3 nights of 0.0 AHI. I still had some leaks but they were very minimal. My usual AHI is lower than 1.0 and mostly around 0.4.

Cheers,
xena

I believe my S9 under reports. I think its because my normal breathing flow is higher than the average normal. I was told I had the lungs of a swimmer in terms of volume at some physical. Its not because I swim, its because my lungs do a piss poor job so I need in more airflow because of that combined with fact I'm stalking 300 lbs. So a lot of my hyponeas go unflagged, imho.

I get 0.0's once in awhile. Unplug the machine and plug it back in. If there is something wrong this will reset the unit. If you continue to get o.o"s after that you are one very lucky person.

Sorry, I misread last 6 hours as 6 days.
Still if you ever wonder, it hurts nothing to unplug and force the reboot.
