HEPA es una marca, aunque no de un producto sino de High-Efficiency Particulate Air filter.

Ver http://www.air-purifier.us.com/hepa.html

The HEPA air purifier offers a number of unique air quality benefits since its original development in the 1940s. The full name for this technology was originally termed High-Efficiency Particulate Air filter. By design and operation the HEPA air filter is a form of media filter that is woven very tightly. The HEPA air purifier was originally developed by the Atomic Energy Commission during the Second World War in order to inhibit discharge of airborne radioactive particles from the exhausts of nuclear reactors. Essentially the HEPA air cleaner was used in order to filter out radioactive dust from the reactor sites. HEPA air purifiers subsequently became very popular for purifying the air in industrial, medical, and military settings.

Tiene copyright, por lo tanto, estoy de la opinión de que se debe guardar el acronimo original.
