State determination of a fluidic system

A fluidic system comprising:

• hardware comprising at least one backpressure sensor configured to measure a backpressure of the fluidic system;
• a diagnostics unit configured to receive data measured by the backpressure sensor;
• and
• a database connected to the diagnostics unit and configured to provide access to historical data and to receive new data from the diagnostics unit;
• wherein the diagnostics unit is configured
• to continuously monitor the backpressure of the fluidic system;
• and
• to apply mathematical methods to identify a deviation of a measured backpressure value from an expected value.

A method for determining a state of a fluidic system, the method comprising

• measuring back pressures in the fluidic system at different times;
• and
• determining a state of the fluidic system, wherein the determination is based on at least the measured back pressures;
• wherein the determination is also based on additional status information indicative of at least one status of the fluidic system at at least one of the different times;
• and
• wherein the step of determining a state of the fluidic system comprises comparing the measured back pressures to at least one reference;
• wherein the reference used in the comparison step depends on the additional status information.
