Übersaugung

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
Kontrollieren, Leeren und Reinigen Sie in regelmäßigen Abständen das Auffangglas, da ansonsten durch Übersaugung Sekrete in die Vakuumpumpe und damit in die Umwelt gelangen können.

Übersaugung has been asked at Proz before, with the result "dry running", but I don't know if that fits in this context. The text is about a Medizinfilter.

Thanks in advance!

overflow

I would rephrase ... otherwise the secretions could overflow into the vacuum pump...

agree Annie and Rolf Reiser (X) : passt sehr gut, 'dry running' wouldn't fit here

excessive suction

A literal translation would be fine here.
