Thus shall you think of this fleeting world:
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud;
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.

No, I do not believe that "suction" as a verb is an error, so "suctioned"
and "suctions" can be proper usage.
See the following online dictionary entry:
suc・tion
n.
1. The act or process of sucking.
2. A force that causes a fluid or solid to be drawn into an interior space
or to adhere to a surface because of the difference between the external and
internal pressures.
tr.v. suc・tioned, suc・tion・ing, suc・tions
1. To draw away or remove by the force of suction: suction fluid from the
lungs.
2. To clean or evacuate (a body cavity, for example) by the force of
suction.

Yes, that might be part of the reason why "suction" is used as a verb.
"Suck" as a verb does in fact very much imply the use of the lips to create
suction and draw out something.

どうもありがとうございました。
Microsft/Shogakukan Bookshelf Basic V.2.0には動詞としてのsuctionが載っ
ていなかったので間違えました。
Random House Webster's College Dictionaryをみたらsuctionにverbの項目がし
っかり載っていました。
