over the typical life of the meter
a lo largo de la vida útil típica (o media) del aparato


Explanation:
En esta propuesta alternativa, mis aportecitos son: (1) a lo largo de por throughout, por subrayar que esos ciclos de limpieza y desinfección se practican repetidamente, contínuamente por toda la vida del aparato; y (2) la posible opción de media por typical - la frase vida útil media es un uso difundidísimo, con unos 315,000 resultados Google. (3) aparato se me sugiere, como ya se ha dicho meter, y en inglés se recurrió justo antes a device.

agree  Rosa Paredes: D's answer is correct, but I prefer the "a lo largo de"; it sounds more idiomatic. Saludos.
