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

Reason for recall

The hook does not securely hold the footplate in vertical position. Therefore the footplate can fall or swing down and may hurt the operator or patient.

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.
