This section shall not limit any existing authority of the Secretary to establish and enforce restrictions on the sale or distribution, or in the labeling, of a device that are part of a determination of substantial equivalence, established as a condition of approval, or promulgated through regulations.

Further, this section shall not change any existing prohibition on the promotion of unapproved uses of legally marketed devices.
