Can the life of the device be extended by pinching off the input & output to the device when not in use?
If you mean but reducing the o2 level, perhaps, but this has not been studied nor confirmed. With no flow, presumably the o2 level the sensor sees will be reduced substantially, but we have not studied the diffusion rate of ambient o2 into the cell under these conditions. The more o2 the sensor sees, the quicker it will expire.
