A biosignal measuring apparatus, a biosignal processing apparatus, and an operating method of the biosignal processing apparatus are provided. The biosignal measuring apparatus may include a plurality of electrodes configured to be in contact with a skin of an object and receive electrical signals generated from the object, a biosignal sensing circuit electrically connected to the plurality of electrodes and configured to generate a biosignal based on the electrical signals received through the plurality of electrodes, an impedance measuring circuit electrically connected to the plurality of electrodes and configured to measure an impedance between the plurality of electrodes which is to be used for correcting a magnitude of the biosignal varying with time, and a signal processing unit configured to receive the biosignal from the biosignal sensing circuit and an impedance value from the impedance measuring circuit, and correct the magnitude of the biosignal based on the impedance value.

Disclosed herein is a system, apparatus and method directed to detecting damage to an optical fiber of a medical device. The optical fiber includes core fibers including a plurality of sensors configured to (i) reflect a light signal based on received incident light, and (ii) change a characteristic of the reflected light signal based on experienced strain. The system also includes a console having memory storing logic that, when executed, causes operations of providing 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 to detect fluctuations of a portion of the optical fiber, and determining a location of the portion of the optical fiber or a defect affecting a vessel in which the portion is disposed based on the detected fluctuations. The portion may be a distal tip of the optical fiber.
