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

Reason for recall

GE Healthcare has identified that a small number of Nuclear Medicine systems are operating without currently updated software. In a recent event, a patient s finger was injured during the Unload process while the automatic Unload feature was being used; the software on the system was not current.

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.
