The device is a flow coupler monitor.The probe is what comes in contact with the patient.The probe plugs into the flow coupler monitor.The surgeon uses the probe to hear blood flow through a coupler device they just surgically implanted in the patient.The circulating nurse in the room turns on the monitor and plugs the probe into it, while the surgeon uses the other end of the probe on the sterile field to listen for the blood flow.The monitor did not produce adequate sound when attempted to be used.It was switched out with a different brand monitor and that worked.
