InnoVero LLC, maker of the innovative SAFESystem™ sample
collection kit currently revolutionizing global anti-doping practices, has earned certification
through NSF International (NSF), as the first drug testing sample collection and security
equipment manufacturer to be recognized as compliant with the NSF P490 Protocol.
The newly established NSF P490 Protocol establishes requirements for the materials, design,
construction and performance of drug testing sample collection equipment. NSF International is
an independent, not-for-profit, non-governmental organization, dedicated to being the leading
global provider of public health and safety-based risk management solutions while serving the
interests of all stakeholders.
InnoVero received notice of its certification to P490 protocols on March 26, and it is the only
drug testing sample collection company to receive NSF certification to date.
"The NSF International certification demonstrates to athletes, sport organizations, and every
anti-doping stakeholder around the globe that InnoVero and the SAFE System are creating
innovations that meet unprecedented levels of product testing and scientific rigor," said Gabriel
Baida, executive director of InnoVero. "We are thankful to NSF for recognizing the need for a
protocol and in providing a clear, objective path for drug testing sample collection products to
achieve certification."
InnoVero has produced more than 30,000 SAFESystem™ kits to date, with a roster of global
clients that grows daily, including the United States Anti-Doping Agency, UFC and MLB, along
with anti-doping organizations located in Africa, Asia and Europe, among its client partners. The
SAFESystem™ features revolutionary security mechanisms that ensure its sample collection
bottles are secure, athlete-friendly and tamper-evident, among a suite of features designed to
provide seamless and efficient use by athletes, doping control officers and laboratories.
"The primary purpose in founding InnoVero was to bring innovation to a long-stagnant industry,
where product advancements and athlete safety have often been secondary to the status quo
in a global anti-doping system," Baida said. "The NSF certification ensures athletes know and
see that InnoVero meets the highest possible standards for product compliance. We hope that
this certification sets the standard for every drug testing sample collection and security
equipment manufacturer to obtain, in order to build global athlete trust."
