Yes they can. When I have an upload from my home monitor, the doctors at Medtronic are able to tell whether or not the leads are working correctly, or have been damaged. They do this by reading the ohms, or resistant level, of the wire. If it is at an abnormal level, it usually means that their is possible damage to the wiring.
