IKE Tech Sets a New Standard for Age Verification in Vaping

The evolution of vaping technology has taken a significant leap forward with IKE Tech LLC's recent achievement in obtaining FDA review acceptance for their innovative age-gating system, marking a crucial step in combating underage vaping. Only a month after its submission, IKE Tech's standalone Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) has caught the attention of the FDA, making it a notable milestone in public health regulation.

What is IKE Tech's Age-Gating System?

At the crux of this innovation is a technologically advanced system that seamlessly integrates Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology with the IKE Mobile Application, designed for real-time age verification at the point of use. This groundbreaking initiative is targeting electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), aiming to establish a robust barrier preventing underage users from accessing these devices.

The IKE system’s design allows compatibility with various ENDS devices, leveraging a user-friendly interface to ensure that age verification is not only effective but also easy to navigate for users of all demographics. The robust architecture is supported by sophisticated blockchain technology, which further strengthens security and reliability in user identity verification.

Study Validates Effectiveness of IKE Tech's Approach

Accompanying the PMTA submission, a comprehensive Human Factors Validation Study was conducted, involving 102 participants to illustrate the system's real-world applicability. Notably, the results were impressive, with 100% of age-verified users successfully utilizing the system—while alarmingly, 0% of underage users managed to activate a device. This reveals a significant triumph for IKE Tech, substantiating the effectiveness of their blockchain-based technology in reinforcing public health guidelines.

Furthermore, the study reported that 91% of participants found the app to be
