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

Reason for recall

The units may display the alarm "sampling line clogged" after the flow zeroing procedure that is conducted automatically 1 hour after start up. This could result in the potential of a small bias added to the CO2 measurement and affect the alarm notification.

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.
