It is not a description of the procedure; it is a catheter size.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Brita Fiess (X) : Yes, but why not "6F"? Actually, the "JR 40" and "JL 40" also designate the catheter type.

It can be 6F but I spelled it out for completeness.
neutral Lirka : Yes, that's what it means, but it's never spelled out.

Sometimes it is, not always.
agree uyuni : Sometimes (rarely) the entire word is used.
