Continuous Fiber Optic Functionality Monitoring and Self-Diagnostic Reporting System

A medical device system for detecting damage to an optical fiber technology of a medical device, the system comprising:

• the medical device comprising an optical fiber having one or more of core fibers, each of the one or more core fibers including a plurality of sensors distributed along a longitudinal length of a corresponding core fiber and each sensor of the plurality of sensors being configured to (i) reflect a light signal of a different spectral width based on received incident light, and (ii) change a characteristic of the reflected light signal for use in determining a physical state of the optical fiber;
• and
• a console including one or more processors and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon logic, when executed by the one or more processors, causes operations including:
• providing a broadband incident light signal to the optical fiber;
• receiving reflected light signals of different spectral widths of the broadband incident light by one or more of the plurality of sensors;
• processing the reflected light signals associated with the one or more of core fibers to identify at least one unexpected spectral width or a lack of an expected spectral width;
• and
• determining the damage has occurred to one or more of the core fibers based on identification of the at least one unexpected spectral width, a lack of an expected spectral width, or a reduction in intensity of a reflected light signal.
