876mGy air

That's 33× as much exposure as a minute of fluoroscopy, while a lethal whole-body exposure is 4.5× more.

What it means

How much exposure is that?

Information only. Medical figures are typical entrance exposures and vary widely with equipment and patient. For dose to people, use gray and sievert.

The math
