"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 the sonic device she'd built a sonic probe out of her phone and other scavenged items, in an attempt to sever all ties to the Eleventh Doctor and her travels with him. 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.
