1. A fluid cartridge for dispensing a fluid, the fluid cartridge comprising:
- a casing for accommodating the fluid, the casing comprising a top part;
a pressure feed interface configured for being coupled to a pressure feed unit for feeding the fluid in the casing with pressurized medium;
a fluid dispensing unit configured for generating particles upon feeding the fluid in the casing with pressurized medium;
a fluidic path in the casing being opened or openable for enabling the particles to leave the casing through the fluidic path;
wherein the top part has at least one predetermined breaking structure configured for being broken by applying a breaking force so as to open the fluidic path in the casing upon breaking; and
wherein the at least one predetermined breaking structure comprises at least one slanted plate located in an upper surface of the top part so as to be broken by bending or kinking the at least one slanted plate upon applying the breaking force.

11. A method of dispensing a fluid, the method comprising:
-
accommodating the fluid in a casing; coupling a pressure feed interface of the casing to a pressure feed unit to thereby feed the fluid in the casing with pressurized medium; generating particles in the casing upon feeding the fluid in the casing with pressurized medium; opening a fluidic path of the casing by breaking at least one predetermined breaking structure in a top part of the casing, wherein the at least one predetermined breaking structure comprises at least one slanted plate located in an upper surface of the top part so as to be broken by bending or kinking the at least one slanted plate upon applying a breaking force; providing the fluidic path in the casing being open for enabling the particles to leave the casing through the fluidic path.
