Subject: s/l Habeeb Technology/Probe

The doctor was dictating an op note, resection of liver mets and RF ablation of liver mets. First he refers to "using Habeeb Technology" and then later he refers to a "Habeeb probe." I checked all my reference books and googled every combination I could imagine until I finally gave up andI sent it on to QA, but cannot check to see what he was saying until this evening, and quite frankly, I am really curious if anyone has heard of this before? He is an ESL so I may be totally off base with it.
