You need to check if the item already exists before adding that to the list.

dim Exists as boolean=false
for i as integer=0 to your_combo.items.count-1 do
if your_combo.items.item(i)=new_equipment_name then
Exists=true;
exit for;
end if
next

if not Exists then
your_combo.items.add(new_equipment_name)
else
msgbox("Already in the list")
end if
