Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2022167449A1] The invention relates to a method for operating an aerosol generating device comprising: - an aerosol generating unit adapted to transform an aerosolisable liquid into aerosol comprising a micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) comprising a microfluidic die and, - at least one exchangeable liquid cartridge in fluid connection to the aerosol generating unit. The method is characterized by operating the micro electro-mechanical system with a control unit, which operates a cleaning operation of the microfluidic die. The liquid contained in the die is aerosolized and ejected from the die with a cleaning unit comprising means for cleaning the die.
