The word we (clarification, aural tuners) use is "touch  up tune" 
"Retune" means we guessed, (figured) wrong and the pitch actually ended up
off 440  so much that a another complete tuning is necessary. If a machine
can raise to pitch 10 cps, (as in your example) that doesn't need a touch
up tuning 24 hours later, a few more might be sold.
