Invalid format of file 3029208.hea (waveform record header file)

File 3029208.hea (available at https://physionet.org/files/mimic3wdb/1.0/30/3029208/3029208.hea) in MIMIC-III Waveform Database has an invalid format and is not parseable by wfdb library.

It specifies 16 as number of segments but contains only 15 signal specification lines, whereas:

Header files must contain valid signal specification lines for at least as many signals as were indicated in the record line (the first non-empty, non-comment line in the file)

as specified in HEADER file format specification (available at https://www.physionet.org/physiotools/wag/header-5.htm).

The file format error makes the following Python script crash, with the output given below:

import wfdb

db_dir = '/path/to/mimic3wdb/'

record = wfdb.rdheader(db_dir + '30/3029208/3029208')

print(f"n_seg: {record.n_seg}, seg_name: {len(record.seg_name)}")

wfdb.rdheader(db_dir + '30/3029208/3029208', rd_segments=True)

n_seg: 16, seg_name: 15
Traceback (most recent call last):

IndexError: list index out of range

Other files in the database might contain similar errors, but they were not checked.

Start with the reported 3029208.hea file and the HEADER file format specification, then reproduce the failure using wfdb.rdheader(..., rd_segments=True). Check whether the malformed segment count can be resolved in the database file or requires a wfdb change; done means the record parses without the reported IndexError and the correction is verified.
