  1. We propose a coarse-grained theoretical model to capture the ageing of microfluidic devices under different conditions including constant applied flow rate and constant applied pressure gradient. Microfluidic devices that sort cells by their deformability hold significant promise for medical applications. However, clogging in these microfluidic systems causes their properties to change over time and potentially limits their reliability. We compare the results of the coarse-grained model with those of stochastic simulations and with existing theoretical studies. Lastly, we apply the model to experimental data on the clogging of sickle red blood cells and discuss its wider applicability.
