Wrench Search file and print everything except multiple search terms

I'm trying to find a way to search a range of similar words in a file. I tried using sed but can't get it right:
Code:
sed 's/\(ca01\)*[1-4]//'

It only removes "ca01" but leaves the rest of the word. I still want the rest of the information on the lines just not these specific words listed below. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Words I dont want to print:
Code:
ca01test01
ca01test02
ca01test03
ca01test04
ca01comp01
ca01comp02
ca01comp03
ca01des01
ca01site01
ca01site02
ca01site03
