Why is optical fiber sensor technology so suitable for medical sensing devices?

In situ measurement thanks to ultra-miniature size of fiber-optic sensors
Sterilisable by EtO
Immune to EM/RF/MW interferences
High accuracy and reliability
Already used in many FDA and CE approved medical devices (e.g. FFR pressure guides and Intra-Aortic Balloon Catheters)
