The protective apparatus for a biomedical thermometer having a protruding probe containing a waveguide includes mounting a transparent window at the patient end of the waveguide to seal the waveguide from contamination while permitting infrared energy to pass. A protective sleeve protects and mounts the transparent window to the waveguide and material is provided along the entire probe-length of the waveguide to protect it. An outer boot is mounted over the transparent window and waveguide protection material to provide further protection and to supply a mounting and retaining surface for a protective probe cover. A disposable protective probe cover having a generally thin, flat, frame member with an aperture therethrough, is sized to fit over and be retained over the base of the probe. Extending across the aperture of the probe cover frame member is a material which stretches to generally conform to the shape of the probe when the tip of the probe is inserted through the aperture of the frame. A probe cover sensor is provided to indicate the existence of a protective probe cover.
