Portable x-ray units earn their keep by the exam, and the faster and more reliably they produce a diagnostic-quality image at the bedside, the more exams the team can complete per shift. The Fujifilm FDR Go PLUS is a self-contained portable digital radiography system that combines a battery-powered mobile unit with the FDR D-EVO GL wireless flat-panel detector, and hospitals and skilled nursing facilities that have added it to their portable imaging fleet note how quickly the DR workflow replaces the slower cassette-based process. We finance FDR Go PLUS units for acute care hospitals, ICU-heavy facilities, and mobile imaging companies serving long-term care networks.
The FDR Go PLUS is built as an integrated package: the mobile unit carries the generator, the detector, the image display, and the batteries as a single self-contained system. The technologist wheels it to the patient room, retrieves the wireless detector, positions it behind or under the patient, takes the exposure from the mobile unit's generator, and sees the image on the integrated display within seconds. There is no separate acquisition workstation to wheel alongside and no tethered cable between the detector and the generator. That integrated design is the key workflow advantage over older portable units that require a separate DR reader or a cassette-based CR workflow.
FDR Go PLUS: System Design and Portable Workflow
The FDR Go PLUS generator operates at up to 32 kW output with a high-frequency design suited to the exposure ranges needed for portable chest, abdomen, and extremity radiography. The battery system supports a full shift of typical portable exams on a single charge. Charging the batteries occurs while the unit is parked at its base station between clinical rounds, and battery status is displayed on the unit's touchscreen so the tech knows remaining capacity before a long ICU run.
The wireless FDR D-EVO GL detector used with the Go PLUS is a cesium iodide flat-panel detector in the standard 14x17 inch format. The detector communicates with the Go PLUS unit via Wi-Fi and returns the acquired image to the display within a few seconds of exposure. The technologist reviews the image immediately, flags it for the reading queue, and moves to the next patient. Image transmission to PACS runs in the background over the facility's wireless network while the tech continues working.
Fujifilm designed the Go PLUS to be operated by a single technologist rather than requiring a team. The ergonomic handle placement, the integrated image display height, and the drive assistance on some configurations reflect the single-operator use model. Facilities that run portable programs with one tech per unit find the Go PLUS easier to operate independently than bulkier portable units with separate display carts.
For facilities comparing the FDR Go PLUS to the Carestream DRX-Revolution, which is the other major portable DR system in this category, the key differences are in the detector, the display configuration, and the service network. Both are strong systems. We finance either and can put financing terms side by side so the comparison includes the total monthly cost. Our portable x-ray machine financing page covers the full category across brands.
Who Buys and Finances FDR Go PLUS Units
Hospitals with high-volume portable imaging programs across multiple floors and units are the largest buyer category. A hospital running 50 to 100 portable exams per day in ICU, step-down, and general wards benefits significantly from moving from CR cassettes to a portable DR unit. The retake rate drops, the image is in the reading queue faster, and the technologist completes more exams per shift without the cassette handling and plate processing time.
Mobile imaging providers serving skilled nursing facilities and long-term care networks are a fast-growing segment for portable DR financing. These operators contract with facilities that do not have their own x-ray equipment and bring the portable unit to the patient. The FDR Go PLUS's self-contained design makes it well suited to this model because there is no separate equipment to stage at each facility. Our mobile imaging provider financing page covers the specific structures used for companies running portable imaging routes.
Urgent care chains that want a portable unit for bedside or stretcher-bound patients who cannot move to the DR room also buy the Go PLUS. The wireless detector handles the under-mattress exam easily, and the quick image review supports the urgent care workflow where turnaround time is part of the patient experience. A related option for facilities focused on extremity-only portable work is the handheld x-ray unit category, which serves limited anatomical ranges at lower capital cost.
Application to Funding for Portable DR
The FDR Go PLUS prices new between $80,000 and $140,000 depending on configuration and accessories. Purchases of a single unit or a small fleet of two to three units fall well within the application-only processing range. We need a completed credit application and three months of bank statements to open the file, and decisions on qualified applications come back within two business days.
Mobile imaging businesses financing their first FDR Go PLUS are evaluated on personal credit strength and the business plan for the portable route. Established companies adding to an existing fleet are underwritten primarily on business cash flow. Both profiles are financeable, though the structure and rate differ based on the risk factors each presents.
Funding after approval takes one to two weeks. For an equipment purchase this straightforward, that timeline is tight enough to match most dealer inventory situations. If you are bidding on a secondary market unit or have a dealer holding inventory for you, we can issue a commitment letter within 48 to 72 hours of a completed application to confirm funding is in place. Our medical imaging equipment financing overview covers the full scope of what we fund, including multi-unit fleet deals for portable imaging operators.
Many operators pair this with Konica Minolta X-Ray Financing, and Agfa HealthCare X-Ray Financing.

Clear answers on equipment eligibility, documentation, timing, and the financing path before you send the full file.
Can a startup mobile imaging business finance an FDR Go PLUS with no operating history?
Startup financing for portable x-ray businesses is possible but leans heavily on the owner's personal credit score and financial strength. A strong personal credit profile combined with a realistic revenue plan and evidence of pending service contracts with long-term care facilities can support approval. Some startup programs require a 10 to 20 percent down payment. We work through startup portable imaging financing regularly.
Can we finance a fleet of five FDR Go PLUS units under one approval?
Yes. Fleet deals for multiple portable units can be structured under a master credit facility or individual approvals bundled at closing. Fleet financing for five units running about $80k to $140k per unit reaches a total that requires full financial statement documentation rather than application-only processing. We structure fleet deals for mobile imaging operators regularly.
Does the FDR D-EVO GL detector need to be replaced at any point, and does that create a financing need down the line?
The FDR D-EVO GL detector is rated for a defined number of exposure cycles and years of clinical use. Fujifilm service teams monitor detector performance metrics. When a detector reaches end-of-life, it requires replacement, which can be financed as a standalone detector purchase. We finance detector replacements as well as full unit purchases.
Is there a difference in financing terms between a new FDR Go PLUS and a certified pre-owned unit?
Pre-owned portable DR units can be financed but may carry slightly different rate or term conditions than new units, depending on the unit's age, condition report, and service history. Lenders cap the loan-to-value on older or higher-mileage portable units because residual values drop faster on heavily used portables than on fixed room equipment.
