Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

When starting a humidifier, intended for respiratory gas conditioning during invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation, with an empty chamber, and water is not filled into the chamber, the low water level alarm will be delayed and medical staff are unaware that there is no water in the chamber.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
