If these are the same type as used in O2 meters (E.G: miniox), then this could become a significant cost. Here in Oz, a Miniox sensor retails at around $A200. Apparently they last a year or so if used frequently. Hence you may be looking at upwards of $A600 / year in oxygen sensors alone! I would be interested to hear if this is the case or whether they use a cheaper variety.
