- Cate Lawrence 2 hours ago Share Share Send email Copy link Czech medtech startup HTG Medical has raised €450,000 from angel and VC backers, and its proprietary device, the HTG Urogram, has successfully cleared the EU's Medical Device Regulation (MDR) certification, thereby greenlighting its immediate rollout across European and global markets.
The story of HTG Medical began in 2019 at a medtech hackathon hosted by IKEM, where the founders were challenged to digitise urine output tracking.
- " "Getting a prototype into the ICU with real patients is one thing.
- "Securing the CE mark is validation that we built this product the right way.
Starting with a deep understanding of the real needs of ICU nurses and doctors, all the way to engineering technical documentation that meets the world's strictest regulatory requirements.
- "More than a year of intense regulatory work taught us how to build institutional processes that can withstand any high-stakes international market.
ISO 13485 and CE marking under MDR aren't just rubber stamps - they are the core foundations upon which we are building a highly scalable company," adds Krištof Šaman, COO and Co-founder, who steered the certification sprint.
- "The HTG Medical team blew us away by taking the Urogram from a rough hackathon concept to a certified product already active in patient care.

The story of HTG Medical began in 2019 at a medtech hackathon hosted by IKEM, where the founders were challenged to digitise urine output tracking. While they narrowly missed first place, the vision and drive to scale the Urogram into a market-ready product remained. Every hour, a nurse in an ICU must physically walk to a patient's bedside, read their urine output from a drainage bag, and manually log the amount.
This decades-old, mundane, and time-consuming routine is about to change thanks to HTG Medical. " "Getting a prototype into the ICU with real patients is one thing. Transitioning it into a certified medical device means perfecting countless details hidden beneath the surface-from measurement accuracy and engineering reliability to secure hospital data integration, a robust quality management system, and an airtight development and testing lifecycle," says Max Klimeš, CTO and co-founder.
