But this is not related to the lab module, right ?

Please provide the full traceback so we can have a better scenario.

In anycase, I always tend to stay away from modifying XML / system
data, unless strictly necessary, since it's quite risky.

Chances are that another xml file (for instance the disease groups file)
is referring to the record you deleted with the ID K900.

As I said, system data is a bit involved and fiddling with it is
risky :)

Thank you ! This is the ICD10-CM (Clinical Modification), which differs
from the standard international ICD10 version, but we can certainly
have it in mind, and integrate as a new module for icd10-cm
