Whether the device reports RERAs or not, you can easily see them in the OSCAR flow rate.

RE: CChelios445 - Therapy and Device Recommendation
In general, you look at the flow rate and observe the spikes for recovery breaths. The RERA precede that, but require you to dig into the flow rate for individual breaths. Note that xPAP machines do not seem to flag the RERA apnoeic events consistently, so take the reported numbers with a large grain of salt.

The wiki page gives some excellent examples and descriptions.
