In a proportioner for proportioning a fluid flow (phi) from an input side of a first proportioning element (10) to an output side of a second proportioning element (10), the first and second proportioning elements comprise a membrane (12) provided with at least one opening (16) acting as a flow resistor for a medium to be proportioned, and a pressure sensor (14) integrated in the membrane (12) and used for detecting a pressure difference between the input side and the output side of the proportioning element (10). The proportioner comprises a pressure transducer for input-side application of a pressure to the medium to be proportioned. The first and the second proportioning element (10) are arranged in succession so as to permit, on the basis of the pressure drop across the membranes (12) of the two proportioning elements (10), the detection of clogging or blocking of the respective flow resistor provided in these membranes (12).
