Rory Williams uses the Doctor's sonic screwdriver on Amy's sonic probe. (TV: The Girl Who Waited)

"Sonic probe" was a general term used to describe sonic screwdrivers and similar devices. It was a term applied by both Dalek Sec and the Sixth Doctor himself to the Doctor's sonic screwdriver. (TV: Doomsday, AUDIO: The Apocalypse Element)

In an alternate timeline where she was trapped in Apalapucia for thirty-six years, Amy Pond insisted upon calling her sonic device, which she'd built out of her phone and other scavenged items, a "sonic probe" in an attempt to sever all ties to the Eleventh Doctor and her travels with him. To date, Amy's probe is the only device initially named a "probe" and not screwdriver.

Her device had the ability to re-wire Handbots. When the Doctor took control of her "probe" to help bring two versions of Amy together, she finally admitted it was a screwdriver. (TV: The Girl Who Waited)

Amy's sonic probe appeared again when the Zygon disguised as UNIT scientist McGillop came across it in UNIT's Black Archive. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
