Does any Frobenius algebra in a monoidal *-category give a Q-system?

Suppose that C is a fusion *-cateogry and that A is an irreducible Frobenius algebra object in C, is there always a Frobenius algebra A' isomorphic to A such that A' is a Longo Q-system (that is the coproduct on A' is an isometry)? In other words, wlog can one assume that the coproduct is the * of the product?

The motivation of this question is to understand whether the theory of irreducible Frobenius algebra objects in monoidal *-categories actually agrees on the nose with the theory of irreducible subfactors or whether there's a small loophole.
