This afternoon we were made aware of a technical issue at infobionic (heart rhythm device vendor), which caused a research study participant to be incorrectly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.At the time of diagnosis, the patient and their physician were notified of the diagnosis.When one of the employees in the monitoring lab was finalizing the participant's report, they noticed the error and notified the pi and team.Infobionic has since resolved the technical issue and this situation will not occur again.The physician on the research study notified the patient and their physician of the situation.The participant did not receive any treatment and had not sought any care related to the false diagnosis.
