       &quot;not detected&quot;, &quot;inconclusive&quot;, or  &quot;test not done&quot;.   The
       alternate way is to use the value element for actual observations and use the explicit
       dataAbsentReason element to record exceptional values.  For example, the dataAbsentReason
       code &quot;error&quot; could be used when the measurement was not completed.  Because
