This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/special-values defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinitionComments
true trueBoolean true.
false falseBoolean false.
trace Trace Amount DetectedThe content is greater than zero, but too small to be quantified.
sufficient Sufficient QuantityThe specific quantity is not known, but is known to be non-zero and is not specified because it makes up the bulk of the material.used in formulations (e.g. 'Add 10mg of ingredient X, 50mg of ingredient Y, and sufficient quantity of water to 100mL.' This code would be used to express the quantity of water. )
withdrawn Value WithdrawnThe value is no longer available.
nil-known Nil KnownThe are no known applicable values in this context.The existence of this subject to review

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LevelA few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
SourceThe source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance)
DisplayThe display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
